I also copied the bumper tabs on paper for a template to cut out of sheet aluminum and glued that to the underside of the tabs on the bumper but the added aluminum wouldn't allow the bumper to push in.
honestly the design from the factory is pure lazy shit. I have been installing and uninstalling factory bumpers at body shops for years. This is one of the worst. I mean wth the car is a year old and bumpers don't line up.
so at this point I don't know what to do. People look at my engine bay and are amazed. And the next sentence out of their mouth is "what happened to your bumper"
