Bought a newly rechromed but original bumper and my shop is saying they think it is bent. Has anyone had a fitting issue like this that has resolved it, or do you think it's truly bent?
Just trying to make sure it isn't an install issue before talking to the source of the bumper. Thanks! Attached thumbnail(s)  Attached image(s)

It really depends on how much work on the bumper. It's easy to deform them if the work is not minor. If it was laid flat on a bench and was filled and then ground down yes quite possible. Most re-chromed bumpers to have some variation to them. Just curious. How did the bumper top fit? If it's one of ours we used an OEM chromed bumper Not too pretty) to assure it fit to OEM. The tops to have the ability to take some variation, but the sub structure is welded in a jig made off the OEM bumper.
I would suspect that the center stud on the top would be all the way back (toward car) and the edges all the way forward on the holes if this is a bumper issue. It may be tell tale Just curious |
