Man, now there trying to tell me the whole bumper is just too wide to fit the car. And the *******s painted the bumper without trying it on.

I dont get how a company could produce things that fit like a 3 year old made them.

Im not sure what to do at this point.

Finally Got It To Fit. The Bodyshop Was Retarded It Went Right On With Some Pushing, I Had To Do It Myself. This Fiberflex Material Is Great Because It Really Bends Well No Cracking.

Did they give you the horizontal bar that fits in between the fog lights?? if so, I wonder if it would fit the genuine AMG Bumper.....? Im looking for this piece, but I dont not want to pay the dealer $125 plus paint for it...

Yes they give u the bar, it fit the bumper but needed to be grinded down to even work. I had to shave an inch off each end of the tail with a dremel, the fiberglass pieces truely come very unfinished, lots of prepwork must be done to have it work.

I think it will fit the stock amg bumper fine because the replica seems to be an exact mold of the stock one. Not sure if they sell it seperately tho?

Heres the picture after I just put it on, I had to do some grinding to get it to fit. To attach the impact strip where the sidemarkers go on, u need to dremel out 24 holes to fit the slots of the strip. You will see this after u compare it nexst to a stock bumper. Other than that it looks pretty good IMO. The spoiler also had to be trimmed to fit, and I left the mesh on they gave me. Since the picture i also put in some nice hid style fog lights that look better than the stock amg, and they were 15 bucks at walmart lol.
