Got the rear bumper installed! it looks fantastic!
Except for the part where I lost my balance while aligning it and it bumped into eather side of the car putting gouges into the paint
I sent a picture to my friend who details cars. He siad he can try and fix it with some touch up paint. I called my mom and told her the bad news, and she is ordering the touch up paint for me. Hope it works out
The worst of the gouges.
But aside from the damage, the bumper looks great on there!
The lesson here is: If your going to install chrome bumpers against new paint, put some electrical tape or other protection around the sharp chrome edges. Sadly I didn't think of this until this morning looking at the car again.
