Those who have installed it....i need some help/feedback

Body shop i took my car to sucks basically. Couldnt figure out how to shave down the front support bar (foam) to get it to fit back on so the look of the fascia has an OEM feel. What did you guys use to shave it down to size to fit? anyone have any dimensions on the piece on what it needs to be shaved down to?

please help ASaP

was told by josh and others that with it shaved down and applied, that the fitment of the bumper would be a tighter fit

If it is foam use a file or rasp to shave it down.

To shave it down to the point of proper fitment, wouldn't allow it to do its job anyways. We shaved mine down to over half way gone and It still didn't fit. So I said fu*k it and too it off. It still fits perfectly.
