I bet it's one of those trick boxes where there is a box within a box multiple times, so I'm guessing a new emblem set?















no really though, front lip?

I now need to get it painted and installed. Will most likely wait until next year. I also have an L-Sportline window spoiler I need painted and installed.

Please make sure the bumper is ok before it goes to paint cuz it looks warped from the pics.

Well it is actually warped a bit . It was folded up inside the box with the ends plastic wrapped back onto itself. I just figured it would kind of form into its original shape once removed from the box. I guess I will have to take it out of the box and let is loosen up a bit. Did anyone else buy one of the L-Sportline bumpers from Carson's on the GB?

wow, that rear bumper is totally deformed.

That is going to take a lot of $$$ to fix
