So long as you can get a screw head around that you'll never know the difference. My corner light is jacked up too. But between the bumper, the insert, and the bolt, it's very secure.

pretty relieving lol just need to save up for the paint and mount this baby up n hope that it sits flush. But thats kinda shitty how that part of it is so weak makes me feel how strong the rest of the bumper is

Yeah. And I was saying I can understand the waiting to paint, I'm in need of new sides, I found a pair, but haha, to order them I'd have to wait a while to install them.
I'm thinking about getting all the scratches sanded out and repainted when I send it in anyway.

Dayum! Yeah, a tri-coat would take time. I'm sorry to here that. The downside to having a car as a hobby, plaything, whatever you wish to call it, is the ****'s expensive. Haha I hate that part.

yeah i know lol but its well worth it when everything is done and you really start to appreciate all that you did and the money you spent in it will seem irrelevant when your happy but you make a mistake you'll fill yourself with regret and start hating it lol im actually alway against what im going to buy im in that mind set so i actually go over it in my mind so many times until i actually go for it and then with so much thought i dont regret it
