Bumper fitting

[cntchds]

I have a bumper that I just can't get to fit right. The stock one was the same way, about half an inch out from the driver's side fender, so I don't think it's a problem with the bumper itself, just something funky with the panel alignment. How much would you charge to install a bumper? No paint, no prep work, just install it so it looks better than I did. Here are some pictures so you have an idea.

The stock one is urethane, and the Saleen style one is fiberglass. I really don't care which you would prefer to work with as long as it gets done to look flush.

Thanks,

Hey Peter, are those my old mach wheels on there??? Was the car ever hit on the front? A lot of aftermarket parts don't fit right either way, i found that out quite often when I had my bodyshop. Good luck, post some pics of the car (maybe you already did and I missed it). Bruce

I tried calling Apex a couple times with no answer, and no return on my calls. Maybe the number has changed from the one that is posted on Google. I'll snag it next time I see it in a banner.

Bruce: When did you get another R? :D I'm going to need to see that in person. I just posted some pictures of my car in the intros section, and yes those are your wheels. ;) Thanks!

I had the same problem the bumper mount was bent.The metal mount that go's into the fender.I just bent it back until it fit.

That could very well have been the problem with the first bumper, but I changed the fender, then I changed the bumper, and always had that problem... Actually, come to think of it, it didn't bow out with the original fender, but it was in kind of rough shape... so maybe they were just messed up enough to still fit together well?

The first R I bought was for a friend, this one is mine. Hope to see you this summer at an event.
