so I ordered a mach 1 grille delete for my car, and the fitment is ****. The piece that is supposed to clip under the bumper, and follow the contour of the bumper, doesn't follow it at all. I bought it thinking there was going to be no space between the black plastic piece and the bumper, it hugs it tight on the bottom, but in the corners is where it doesn't hug at all. I can get it to if I push down on it, but I don't really feel like going to get some super glue and gluing it.... anyone else have this issue or is it just mine?

the more I look at customers pictures on american muscle, it seems to be how most of them sit, kinda looks half assed though if you ask me. Think a heat gun would work???

ya thats the thing, from far away mine looks alright, but once you get up and look at it, it looks like it has to be pushed down more or something. To be honest I don't know if I'm completely sold on the grille in the first place, and am debating putting my honey comb one back on...

heat gun is the way to go one this one just keep it moving and use some gloves its will get hot..... just dont over heat it either where your going to be to fold it like paper and leave in-prints of your fingers thats going too far obviously........once you get it to where you need it slip it on.....then get a cup of water not ice cold just regular room temp and pour it over so that it helps it cool and form to the bumper cover....i stated the donts because a friend over did it with his and left it looking like ****
