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)

We did a group buy on rechroming several years ago and I had my front bumper redone and had the license plates holes filled in. The bumper came back a little opened up a little like your photos, but not nearly as bad.
I would guess they take off the mounts English wheel them a bit and weld the mounts back on or some kind of business like that? I dunno. |
