Rep Power: 318 Try to straighten it out.... also... if you look real close on your car where the bumper should clip in, there is a sort of white screw holder that guides that screw in the fenderwell. At times, mine comes loose and comes down and blocks the way of the bumper. Use a small screwdriver to push the plastic screw holder up to get it out of the way, and then push the final bumper clip in.

Rep Power: 0 ebay is your prob. that sucks. If it fit before perfect, it should fit now. Just make sure its under the clips, and screwed in. Or else the bodyshop damaged it. But since its from ebay, I dont know.

Rep Power: 265 yeah it was the heat. he had it sitting in a manner that left tension on the plastic. the ehat warmed it and it cooled back the wrong shape.

Rep Power: 0 did the painter tell you why he left it in the sun, wouldn't that get **** in the paint while its drying? That doesn't sound right that he put wet paint outside.... But it does sound like the painter screwed something up....by the way, where in Jersey are you located???
