Front bumper help!!!!!!!!
I got my Octane (poly) bumper in today, and to my disbelief, it came wraped up in a ball. A tag on it said to cut the strap, sit it in direct sunlight for 35 to 40 minutes and it will strighten out..............well, it didn't.
Any suggestions?

my side skirts were the same way when i got them. well, not in a ball, but twisted. i sat them in the sun forver and nothing changed. i had the body shop install them when they were painted and it is fine now. dont know what they did, but it worked. might want to ask a local body shop.

Use an industrial heat gun. It might take a while, but it's better than leaving it in the sun and doing nothing.
