i have used aftermarket bumpers for fbody before and they do not fit correctly.

i get it, but i hope they dont use the imported bumpers. i had to return 2 the body parts place that sells all the taiwan hoods. it was junk, the bumper to lights area had like 1" gap around the lights gasket. the hood to bumper area had around a 1" gap as well.m also looked very droopy. not acceptable.
i went 2 jy and got stock one from a v6 and it lined up and with almost no
adjustment.
just a warning.
maybe the import bumpers shrink or something idk.

Sorry but you aren't getting it... We molded a lip to a factory bumper to make a PLUG for our mold. The finished bumper is made in house, we aren't ordering aftermarket bumpers and attaching lips to them we are molding our own style bumpers...
