I dipped the bumper over the weekend. Looks good. Went to snap in the grille and guess what... didn't fit. More filing was needed to make it go not the tabs. I'm going to hold off on final fit up until my S/C is installed. The tabs seem brittle in spots so less on/off is better here for sure.
I sure hope this was a fluke and not indicative of all the bumpers that are shipped. It's a lot of work to get it to where I'm at now and the grille kind of pissed me off. I'm not convinced it will stay in place so we'll see how it goes. I could always epoxy the tabs to lock it in but until final fitment is done this isn't an option.
Filled in the groove around the tow hook hole since it was so off center
Primed it black so I was starting with the same base color for Plasti Dip application.
It's Koi Orange!
And tried two tone with dip for the first time. Came out great!
Here's my less than idea work space
