Just got a new bumper cover with no rust, bolts are in excellent shape. There are some waves on the bottom of the cover. How do I straighten these out?

Thanks Guys,

I got most of the wrinkles out of it. First I tried the visegrips with some success, then I used my Millermatic welder to finish it --- Just used the corner of the case of the Millermatic, to push out and push in the wrinkles with some body weight behind it.
