Well apparently when the paint guy drilled the holes for my now traded BAUS Auto N2 bumper, he drilled it with it on the car. Which now means that the holes the plastic clips for my bumper are way to big and the clips are just for looks.

I am trying to find out what this piece is called and and how much it will cost as I think the guy should replace it. Such an amateur shop.

Also, does anyone know anything I can do besides replacing the piece to make the clips hold?

 

I'm not following, can you post photos for clarification?

 

the yellow white plastic screw squares on the fender sides? Look up courtesyparts.com

Winner ^.

Sorry to hear that you had such a shitty experience though man.
Good luck to you in the future!

 

I wish it was just the tabs. I'm afraid I'm talking about the whole plastic piece here that has the square inlet for the filter. As you can see, the plastic tabs go through the bumper and attach to that plastic piece. Now that the holes are so damn big the plastic tabs having nothing to anchor to.

 

Thats easy too..its fiberglass and actually a simple part to remove...its the upper core support..

 

That is one big piece. It's called the "Radiator Core Support".

Not very easy for someone who isn't mechanically knowledgeable. I'm going to try to remember what all had to be removed or removed from it the last time I replaced mine;

Headlights
Inner Bumper (4 Bolts, which also hold the core support to the frame)
Fenders?
Oil Cooler
Radiator
Hood latch
Horns
Hood Prop
Several other things...

It can actually be a pain in the *** and time consuming.

 

Well I am glad I know what it is now. I can't only imagine that it's probably like 6 hours of labor. I'm pretty pissed about the whole thing. Not only did he screw up my other bumper but he screwed this up to.

What would you guys do in my situation in regards to how to handle this?
