My bumper might be defective I'm not sure.

Because they said in the front middle of the bumper at the very top. Basically right above where the emblem in your grille is.

They said that it folds, it's just unstable or something. Can't seem to figure out why, but they've been at it for a few days with little luck.

Same answer I got from the shop that assured me they could do mine. Since then I've worked on it. A hairdryer does wonders for heating the urethane up and shaping it.

I hope that's the case.

Yeah I'm rooting for a quick and easy fix. Tony from Rideskinz is going to speak with them Monday and figure out what's going on.

It's been 2 weeks without my Camaro and I've seriously had 2 dreams about me driving my car already I miss her!

I've got my fingers crossed for you. I've learned there is nothing quick about this bumper. Putting in the time and work will be worth it though.

They called me Friday letting me know that the bumper install is so far unsuccessful, that it keeps folding in the very center and basically said that after it's all said and done. My bumper in particular "will not come out the way it was intended to."

This is very disappointing :/
I gave up, sold it for 1/3 of the price, lost all the labor costs. Bought a used SS bumper and threw it on. The shop I took it to said that the bumper was awful and would never fit flush. Sure enough, he got it close, but around the side markers in particular never fit flush. I had faith in the shop, and still do, as they made my MPD hood and spoiler fitting perfectly, the former of which took some adjustment. Hopefully all of you have better luck than I did, but I got burned on both my aggressor attempts.

After the Aggressor I, Tony provided a discount on the II, but that was all. In his defense, I didn't go to him after the II also was unable to work, so he did not have an opportunity to make it right for me. At that point, I was just done with it and wanted to cut my losses and move on.

Dang I hope that doesn't happen here. It's kind of hard to reach Tony same day, he normally responds within a few business days. This shop that I took my car to is pretty hands on with the customer as well. They're always contacting me with updates. I love it...

Been waiting a few days for a response from Tony, because the next few days after I got my bumper. I told Tony there was a hole in the lower lip, and a half dollar sized bubble in the middle portion of it. He said it was fine and a shop should handle it no problem, that he didn't think the bumper was defective.

Now I'm thinking exactly that... that the bumper is defective.
