I'm looking at this closer trying to determine where the issue is and trying to make the case to stinger to refund me. Today I'm feeling like using the crap endura bumper just to get this thing on the road sometime before im thrown into a re-education camp. Let's go Brandon!
The OEM endura bumper fits a lot better. I don't have it all finished, so I'm not going to share all the pics yet. Even the OEM was a touch too wide it seemed. My outer spoiler pieces have a gap between their outer edge and the quarter panel flank anyway, so to address this fitment issue with the spoiler pieces- something I detest on the 2ns gens and something my eye always darts to- and fit the bumper cover better I put small cuts I. The rear tail light opening. It's a stretcher metal effect. The body line only dented in .5mm- an amount I'll cover with filler.
This moved the back edge of the quarter out ~7/16". I know that's a lot. Now there's too much gape between the quarter and the tail light but it can be chester over in the tail panel if I elongate the holes where the tail light housing studs go through the panel. I think I can chest it over
just enough. Sliding the tail light over outboard will make it line up better with the license plate cut out in the center of the cover too!
Was this a moronic idea? Right now it seems like this will be quicker in the long run and will still be a quality job.
The profile of the fiberglass is even wrong on the outboard sides. It bows out. BY A LOT! Here are some pics of the profile from the side of the fiberglass bumper cover and put on the OEM endura cover sides.
Here is a pic of the cuts I made to make the quarter pop open just a bit to fit right with the bumper cover. Then a pic to show how much tighter the spoiler is to the body. Minimal work is required at the spoiler piece's bottom rip to make it tight to the body. I know the bumper cover is still shown out past the quarter. It's flush now, like I said earlier I this post, fitment isn't complete I don't have everything bolted down
