You are correct sir, but they said if it was an oem bumper they'd fix it but it's not...I have paperwork to prove it is so I just have to take that paperwork In and hopefully they'll fix it then. Apparently the heat from my exhaust heats up the area causing It to sag :/

Just took a look at mine, no issues with warping, but I also don't have a FI exhaust either.

Don't have the FI exhaust yet, i actually think that fact that the cans will be further away will make this less of a problem for me...idk i think mine is just defective or something...hopefully i can get this solved quickly.

Don't notice anything in the rear but I do notice a warping of sort int the front just left of the driver's side head light just under the hood line. I thought I was seeing things but yeah there is a slight warp there. I don't know if it was caused by me closing the hood or what. ( one time it didn't shut all the way and instead of opening it back up and dropping it I pushed down on it to close shut )
