Angry People with Tsunami front bumper install

I just went to the body shop where i took my car to get my tsunami front fitted and they cut the holes for the tabs too big and now you can see them and the bumper doesn't fit right. ANy suggestions? How did you get your bumpers to fit ... I'm mad pissed of but I can't do anything about it cause I did pay for it and they are also doing my Fiberglass octane rear I can't wait to see how that crap fits.

so did you or the shop drill those holes, because if the shop did it's their fault and they should fix it or order a new bumper

I think the Tsumani fits like a$$. I mean it looks good and all but it sticks out around the headlights.

what i had the shop do was shim the headlight portion of it so it fits nice and snug underneath the headlights so i dont have that problem about it not fitting right. But as for the holes being to big, you can take some epoxy and mold that to the inside of the bumper so that its holes arnt to big.... i had a similar problem, or you can have hte shop adjust those tabs, undearneath the fender.. have the shop move them back a little bit and you wont see the holes.. .

mine fit pretty bad too. what I had to do was drill out the tabs in the side like the factory has. then on top of that I added fiberglass tape, and it fits pretty nicely
