I also drilled 2 holes on the underside at the lowpoints on each side of the front bumper (approx 5/16") to allow drainage of any water accumulation on the inside of the bumper. Nothing major, but couldn't hurt =) just remembered about that also lol

Btw, for a replica, is this pretty good fitment? Is this a easy fix for the body shop? I would like to eliminate the gap between the bumper and headlight as much as possible, wondering how hard or easy it will be:

isnt that picture showing the bumper fitted to your car which still hasn't been repaired? I feel like thats why the fit looks so poor, at least on the passenger side.

^^^just noticed the fender on the passenger side (from fender to headlight)

Gotta make sure everything else is baller before test fitting a replica...and I believe you STILL will have to get a shop to "make it look right"

yea, just asking about the gap from the front of the bumper and the front of the headlight, not the sides. You see how on the driver side headlight, the lines of the bumper aren't straight, and swervy. Just wondering if the body shop can fix that to make it "flush"...

^^Pretty much, except for the passenger fender/bumper/headlight part. Other than that, the driver side should be fully on.
