    [​IMG] (yes i know that the bumper isn't fully aligned yet, i'm working on it.) But I need suggestions on how to cover up the eyesore which is that piece of metal sticking out that holds the bracket for the headlight. It appears that the bumper doesn't wrap around enough to cover it up itself. I bought this bumper off of Amazon for a reasonable price and would like to make it work.
    Bear with me, i'm brand new to this forum and decided to make an account because I always find ideas and answers on here. :)

    I'd send a pic to the vendor and ask for the trim that they left out of the box (assume, don't accuse)

    Maybe you'll get lucky and they'll resolve it.

    If not, and you keep it, fab up a solution, or at least paint the area black to draw the eye less.

    If not resolved, register a complaint with Amazon and leave a photo review of the product.

    Vijay Automotive, I’ve never heard of them before now, and I guess for good reason.

    Just sent a message to the company, I'm keeping fingers crossed that there were parts missing in my order and it doesn't just look like that.

    Paint the silver under the headlight black, it won't be as noticeable.

    I hope this is a good lesson for anyone buying cheap garbage off Amazon instead of from one of the good reputable vendors on this site that stand by their products

    So if I bought this from Amazon, can I carry this 144lb bumper into any local Kohl's amazon return service desk to return? I'm sure they don't mind.:anonymous:
