I was dead set on this fascia until Stormcrow pointed out the defect in Mike's bumper. This also isn't the first time I have heard of body components from Stillen having issues.

A-nnealing and a-bobbing? That usually helps me maintain rigidity.

Hey, don't blame it on me, man! Josh and Kyle probably already have a hit out on me. Don't make it worse.

hahaha

You were right though, it's plain obvious that there is a deflection under that headlight.

Its issues like this that makes a more expensive kit, say Amuse, a lot more appealing. The initial cost is high, but at least you know the residual work to make it fit right is next to none, thus saving you a lot of money (and stress).

dude Im 100% with you! I was dead set on this bumper until discovering this defect. I googled around and there is plenty of complaints about this from Stillen urethane parts. Guess its the type of urethane they use? Anyways, back to the drawing board. Too bad, bumper looks great sans warping.
