I don't have a problem doing the work. The insurance is taking care of everything. I'm going to run the car without the foam for now, I can always put it on when i get my car back, i just want my car back at this point.
The only question left remaining is, why would the bumper not match the crash beam? (Not the foam, but where it mounts)

But hey, some people enjoy flushing money down the toilet I suppose. Flush away!

It's not that hard. Take your existing 92-96 bumper foam and cut the top section off of it, the "top section" is basically the part of the foam that you would see through the grill opening on the 97+ bumper. Just take a knife and cut that top section off so you can't see it through the grill, then install the new bumper. I wouldn't install the bumper without it, why? It's right there in your face...just take a sharp object and cut the top off. I can't explain it any simpler than that. I can't believe the bodyshop guys can't figure this out.
