Bumper fitment issues need expert advice
Hi everyone, I mounted up my bumper last night just to see if its lost its form over the years. I've had this bumper sitting around for like 3 years collecting dust.
From what I understood if you heat the urethane up slightly then let it cool it should go back to its original form .
Anyways... I am wondering if there is any solution for this issue or if I should just scrap it at this point?
I saw a post about someone using silicone to make it stick inside the bumper clips... I am hesitant to do this though because I have a turbo and that bumper will be on and off frequently.
I am going to push the IC up further and cut the front bumper to make it fit flush up front.

The previous owners body shop really jacked it up.
I have figured out a way to customize the side support for the bumper and made it fit almost perfectly.
I have also started the sanding process, the previous body shop did not put a flexible primer on and it is spider webbed everywhere.
