To begin with I told them if it didnt fit damn near perfect, don't install it. So they called me and said it was tough but it was very close and looked great. So I have them leave the car outside and I pick it up on a Sunday and this is what I find. I liked to passed out! Now even though it drives me crazy and almost 2K in the bumper I can't bring myself to take it off yet. Love the bumper just not the fit.

Well when you walk through the door and they have plaques with magazine spreads of wide body cars they built you kinda take it that they are good at what they do. Multiple shops turned it down after the words Extreme Dimension! This shop didn't want it either after having Extreme Dimension tell them to cut a bumper in half and figure it out in the past. I don't know why they went ahead with it ($$$$) when they knew it didn't fit damn near perfect. They could have blended it but I told them no cause it isn't meant to be permanent. Your a great guy to play Dick Tracey for Mark I will add*

These cars are hard for people who work on modern vehicles to deal with. I live in a high density environment, which means I frequent the body shop. Every time I pull in, the guys down a gallon of Pepto and we sit down together and walk through the procedures that need to be followed to work with the body panels. (Because they are so foreign to the modern cars they are now seeing.)
If you have someone who understands how the car is put together - or has access to the proper body manual, (and isn't trying to figure it out themselves) then you'll likely get a much different result.

I still need to have more body work done this fall. I should take a picture of my car lined up next to the late model Lambos, Ferraris, Teslas, BMW's, and Mercedes. My car might as well be a Model T sitting in the shop.
When I walk in, I'm the source of angst because the car is going to be so "hard" to work on and find parts. (I know well enough to show up with the parts ahead of time, now.) When I walk out, I'm a celebrity because I have the cool "old" car.

We don't only because we have to stock 10 and the demand wasn't there. After this year (SEMA) we're going to try to stock and bring them back.
They were the first we used the new manufacturer with and had ZERO issues with them. After that we did a G8 hood through the new factory and something else (I can't remember right now) and all has been well...

I still have an obsession with the old ladies so right now the LT1 and LS1 front bumpers are back for a ten run as is the targas... I still love these cars
