Unhappy Techart front bumper install

Hi everyone. For 2 weeks now my body man has been dilligently trying to install an aftermarket (speedgallery) techart type II front bump and rockers. He just cannot get the bumper to fit flush even w/o the inner air duct pieces. We tried to use wire mesh instead and even then, it is not fitting securly around the headlight area. As to the rockeres, cannot get the wide part to sit flush against the car. Please help. Thanks alot.

The fitment is not great, you will never get it 100%.

Yes you will get the bumper perfect, I did
He has to grind away some of the metal support bumper on each side, believe me it will fit !

that explains it




I still can't believe that even the true TA bumpers need so much work to fit properly. You'd think if you spend that kind of cash it'd be a perfect fit. I've seen cheap honda kits bolt right up. And the quality ones are usually flawless.

Soon2be,

It's not that they need a ton of work to fit, just like anything else you need the right man on the job
