On the driver side, the headlight is preventing me from being able to push the bumper in. Either the headlight needs to be tilted upwards a bit, or the bumper slightly shaved. I'm sure a body shop can make it fit though.

No vendor, I bought it from a local seller.

HAHA you wouldn't happen to be talking about mine would you? Actually I know he means mine, and my guess is that you got that kit from Auto Infantry, I had the same "issue" as you and decided that it wasn't that noticable and decided not to fix it. Unless you know it's there or are studying the bumper really hard your not going to see it.

No, I bought it from a local seller. There's no replica brand name on it either, just a serial number and the date it was made.

I'll give DTM and Auto Explosion a call tomorrow to get some quotes. Pretty much everyone is recommending DTM.

Oh and here's a shot I just took for fun. I'll probably leave those on the bumper until I get it painted

Oh ok, could be then. Do you remember if it had a yellow tag on the back of it with a serial number and date made? The funny thing is that I came really close to buying this kit directly from AI, but then a local guy sold it for much cheaper...so I got a really sweet deal on it I think

It actually doesn't look too bad in person. Look at this picture. See how it looks like it needs to be pushed in more (like towards the rear of the car)? Well the bumper is hitting the headlight which is preventing it from being able to go back more. All a shop needs to do is just sand down that part a bit and then you can align it much better. I'll be sure to post the final results in this thread once it's all done.

Sorry, he had 2 bumpers for sale and my friend and I bought them both lol. I found out it's an Auto Infantry replica though. They're a vendor on this forum.
