Actually just found out the shop doesn't want to adjust the bumper anymore, first the "owner" said he would and then after i drove it for two weeks (couldn't bring it in earlier cause he wasn't answering my calls or returning my messages) he said I probably hit the bumper so had I caused the problem.

He is such an incompetent gutless idiot that preferred doing this than actually check the bumper since he had agreed to paint it anyway!

doing this nose job took the same amount that would of cost if I had to replace the original which was cracked by a cone (or two) that I hit on the frwy.

The shop insisted on a mesh, but I think it's making the car run a bit hotter I'm pretty sure it's the mesh.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Well a little more than just a nip or tuck... doing this nose job took the same amount that would of cost if I had to replace the original which was cracked by a cone (or two) that I hit on the frwy. Plus a finally got some real though wheels that will not brake when I hit the smallest poodle. I mean puddle...
Here are some shots I just took, I like the GT2 look and this bumper from Precision Porsche it's not that bad, but not the tight fit I expected. Scale 1-10 I give it a 7. The bracket where the original bumper was attached to it's the one the shows thru the holes, that should be painted black. The car is going back in to make those adjustements, let's see if they improve the second time and then I will rate their work.
The shop insisted on a mesh, but I think it's making the car run a bit hotter I'm pretty sure it's the mesh. I will also re-do the interior of the bumper myself and add material to improve air flow to the radiators. The bumper didn't come with those parts.
here we go!

That looks terrible.
I am willing to take it off of your hands, at no cost to you, in order for you to avoid embarrasment. (It is Arctic Silver, right?)
Actually just found out the shop doesn't want to adjust the bumper anymore, first the "owner" said he would and then after i drove it for two weeks (couldn't bring it in earlier cause he wasn't answering my calls or returning my messages) he said I probably hit the bumper so had I caused the problem. Also he conveniently did not remember that the headlight was digging into the paint.
I'm actually happy I'm going to fix it myself without these idiots ever touching my car again. It's like a weight has lifted.
there were so many things wrong that when I picked up the car the "owner" ask me to make a list. So I did. I texted him saturday and said I'm bringing the car and the list. he answer was:"bring your wallet with the list"...
I could go on forever.
I say, what a pathetic human being.
Never trust cheap shops, I learned the lesson.
I agree and pointed it out when I picked it up, but today, the day after I brought it in the shop to get it redone, they say that I caused that. Off course you can see it was already there the day of delivery.
The shop that mediated the job, Fast Forward Wheel / PCars / Fast Forward Performance or whatever the hell they like to be called, they have accused me of hitting the bumper so I hard that it cause all the problems I have and don't want to make the adjustments they promised they were going to make the day I picked it up.
1) Debris is trapped between the mesh and the radiators (leaves, small branches, paper). Needs to be removed
2) The silver bracket was to be painted black as it shows thru the mesh.
3) The bumper is buckled up at the driver's headlight and it is digging into the paint.
4) The made a mess on the paint over the left fender and scuffed it when they tried to force the bumper into place.
5) They did not polish anything and delivered the car dirty.
6) Paint didn't match.
You have to understand I have known the owner for a long time now and never expected that I had to take photos and document any of this, he turned on me for no absolute acceptable reason. The only thing he agreed to do was to repaint the bumper cause it is a different color. DUH!
He has broken a verbal contract with me and accused me of being a liar and I will never forgive him for that and being so disrespectful toward me.
After I got upset he told me I was getting it all done for free. He acted like he was giving something to me, so I rejected it considering the fact that they couldn't fix what they had screwed up in the first place.
He is such an incompetent gutless idiot that preferred doing this than actually check the bumper since he had agreed to paint it anyway! What a pathetic moron.
I will pay a shop to remove the bumper and see if they have mounted it wrong on the driver's side causing it to buckle upward of 1/4 inch.
Basically I'm paying a shop $200 to remove it and re-install it just to see what the problem may be. Isn't something THE ORIGINAL SHOP could of done since they where going to re-paint, remove the debris and re-paint the brackets? DUH what morons.
Sorry all for bothering you with my problems.

Consider I just got my Mini cooper back from a body shop last month (not much luck with cars lately) and... WONDRIES COLLISION CENTER in Alhambra CA finished the job in 5 days, offered me a ride, the job was flawless and they washed a waxed my car, for a rear bumper replacement.
