Body shop FAILURE!

As a painter at a large dealership I can see how the mistake was made. The painter didn't have the old bumper to look at and made a mistake. It happens when you paint 5-6 cars a day.

Take it back and have them get you a new bumper. There is no way to fix that one properly. Any respectable shop will have no problem getting you a new bumper and fixing it right.

Wow, really? I figured the piece would come with an index or something for reference. I knew it somehow had to do with not having to original bumper.
