Default Anyone has the Wald/Black bison kit?

Just wondering if the front apron needs any modification to fit the stock bumper, and/or does the front bumper needs to be cut to fit the front apron? The vendor where I ordered the kit from heard that the stock bumper probably needs to be cut to fit the front?????????????

Thanks

What I was told was that it is a direct fit. The only downside, and some took action with this, was it is only a front apron- essentially half of the bumper. Some chose to mold it, which makes it seamless and look actually like a whole aftermarket bumper, while others left it as is. It is a really aggressive front and looks amazing as a kit, but personally it's super low and, given the price, I couldn't live with myself with possibly cracking it, much less scraping it.

there will be some gaps as it doesn't fit 100% more like 95% fitment. just tell the body shop to take their time putting it on the bumper and use heat gun to make it stick to the bumper. the gaps will be at the upper corners of the bottom grill and if u have parking sensors i suggest u make a U shape cut or turn them off. if you don't ur good to go.
