Looks very good. But how did you get them to do "additional" work out of the accident? Insurance never covers anything beyond the original equipment and year.

you can use the check to get after market parts or other oem parts doesnt have to be the same year model, if it happens to cost more than im sure the owner will pay it out of their pocket, i have state farm btw

Thanks for the comments. The bumper fits just fine. The only thing is the holes for the screws/clips at the bottom and sides do not line up so I have to drill new holes to secure those areas.
As far as the insurance went, they issued a check and I purchased all the parts/materials; my buddy painted the car. I pulled out the core support out little to line everything back up.
The whole kit cost about 1500 without paint. Was it worth the accident? I think so

sorry to bump. just wondering...
are there any f-sport sides or rear for the f-sport bumper? or does it look fine with the bumper itself? does it align with the sides and rear okay?
i have a 2010, want to upgrade, making sure it'll be good just to get the bumper and don't need like the gfx sides or rear or anything to make it even.

i finished putting on my 2011 bumper on my 2007. everything aligned perfect for me except the two fender holes on the sides which were an easy small drill fix. One problem I have is aligning the two air intake ducts on the bottom grill. How did you align it? I checked to see if they were different part numbers but they are the same. I must be doing something wrong?
