The holes aren't cut big enough for the high beams and they won't sit flush even when bumper is fully mounted on. That was my experience.

Thanks for the heads up I would've been messing with it forever. Did you use all the hard ware from the OEM bumper?

Why are you not having your body shop take care of all of that?

I'm not a body guy so I didn't even try messing around with any fitment on my own. I had my body shop do all of the trimming and adjustments before they painted the body kit and the entire car.

I didn't have the Shine front but I do have the Shine sides and rear, along with a +97 OEM front end and Fujin Lip.

Mine fit perfect. You can adjust the high beams to bring them out a little. That's what I did.

Yes I used all the hardware from the Oem bumper. Measure the holes of the poly bumper and the Oem one, you will see the difference. Better yet with the poly bumper off put the high beams right up to the holes, they will not fit

Mine fit fine after I adjusted them. Snug as can be.
