Take it to a Professional bodyshop, it is not really something you can do with your hands...

I installed the Rs rear. The sides were out also. All I did was push on them carefully to make it fit.

haters crazy
I just put my rs front bumpe ron yesterday. It was the worst fitting bumper I have ever seen. I had to take a metal sheet and cut out custom brackets. You will have to drill holes in the bumper. I drilled holes between the headlights and where the bumper meets the fender. The bumper is on the very well but now I have trouble getting to work (in D.C.) I've already had a minor scrape. I sitll have to get it painted but I'm afraid that if I take off the bumper and get it painted, when I try puttin it back on the paint will crack due to the stress.
