I'm with him, I don't know how you would bond the bumper with carbon fiber but it would be cool to see

I meant it should come as one to your door. (new bumper, with diffuser) I believe they are molding the camaro diffuser into the bumper and selling it like that, imo they should have done the same with the T/A. It does look good, I just think it would look cleaner, being one piece.

I really dont see the big deal about adding some rivets or screws or bolts.

I think it would be a much cleaner look without having to add such things

It would but you really can't tell. People only notice when I point it out otherwise you look past it, I guess I see both sides

I switched to the fiberglass one cause it seemed a bit more flexible in fitting flushed with the bumper. It took some double stick tape and a few carefully placed plastic oem screws to make mine fit well.

Aftermarket stuff will sometimes need some tweaking especially when it comes to exterior parts. Take it to a professional body shop if you can't seem to DIY.

For some unknown to me reason they just cure this way. They ALL bow out like that at first, the main issue with your first one was it was cut too short...

3M tape all around and two screws (each side so four total) on the BOTTOM (where you won't see it push it in hard, screw them in, repeat on the other side) and a few days in the sun and it is good to go...

The CF is backed by the duraflex so it still has give...
