front fascia (bumper cover) installation tips /tricks

[rwp3674]

Anyone possibly have tips for stock fascia installation? Here's the only tip I have; DON'T BUY AFTERMARKET FENDERS, at least not made in Korea!

You are right about that. What kind of fascia are you installing? Did you test fit it and is it painted? Some fascias dont line up perfectly with the fender lines so you might want to go in there with body filler plastic and craftily close up any ugly seams. Other than that be careful not to bend the parts because the paint will chip and create spider-webbed ugliness.

It's actually a factory 90'N/A cover, original to the car. Somebody clipped the fender/wheel parking next to the curb, ridiculous. Twisted the cover, and that's when the headache began. The fender replacement is chinese or maybe Korean, translation, crap.
