^^^ Thanks, that does help a bit. I was looking at mine last night and noticed they're pretty beat. I'm not sure if they're still useable as the PO did quite a number on them. I think my best bet now is just taking them to a body shop and seeing if they can be salvaged. They need to be painted anyway. I may just start looking for another set...

They are just big hunks of urethane so they are easy to repair. Any of the bumper repair material like 3Ms will work great. Ours were old and white when we got em and we painted them off the car in the garage with my 20g air compressor and a HF HVLP gun. If you can get them fixed and fitted before taking them to the body shop you'll save a lot of money.

Let me know if you need detailed shots of any particular area. I can take them when the kid gets off work after 4CST

I've got a lead on another set for pretty cheap, but if those don't work out I'll see about repairing the current ones.

If you do get a chance I'm particularly interested how the longer pieces fits up against the car under the door. That seems like it's going to be the most difficult to keep in place. Also, do you have a side shot of the entire car? I'm curious how the front lip, sides, and rear add-ons all line up. Are those the rear bumper add-ons from Shine?
