How a front lower bumper arrived…

[Silly Willy]

Interesting... I assume that would work if there was no permanent crease from folding the part when it wasn't warm...

Should have ordered it from Temu. Also known as send the crap back.

I’ve done bodywork for over 20 years and have had dozens of bumpers delivered like this. It’s pretty normal. Just sit it in the sun or somewhere warm for a day or 2 and it’ll go to its normal shape and be fine. In the winter we would put them in a paint booth with the heat on,

I talked to my buddy yesterday that has a body shop.he said the same thing put them in the sun and it will go back to its normal shape.

What is this "sun" you speak of?

I thought about returning it, but after careful inspection of the warped part, I decided that using my trusty Harbor Freight heat gun, I could likely reshape the bent/folded areas good enough to restore the part to usable condition. It ended up being good enough (pretty good actually) that when it’s actually bolted on sometime down the road, it’ll look like it was never bent and folded up by that certain individual in the shipping dept taking shortcuts.

Installed pictures?

It’ll be awhile - the plan is to upgrade the intercooler at the same time, and I want to see what CVF will be coming out with as far as a version that won’t require cutting.

Sounds like a project

This is another Mav owner’s swap, and how it looks on a Tremor:

y'all missed the point!

it worked so well for mattresses that they've moved on to "bumper in a box".

You open it up, let it expand for a couple of days, and de-gas for a couple more, and it's ready to go!
