I am not one that prays...
Install is a breeze. Take your time, put tape on the fenders so you don't scratch them if you install the bumper by yourself.
See the mark on the second picture.

Well... some good and some bad.

Paint job was phenomenal. Very happy with the quality. Installation is the issue.

Removed everything stock just fine. GT500 foam core installed fine, but the damn bumper doesn't want to fit right. I'm having a hard time having it "stretch" around the bolt up to each fender wheel well. I'm getting a small 1/2 inch gap under the headlight. Did any of you experience this tight of a fit? I can't figure out if I did something wrong or its supposed to be this tight of a fit. The gaps definitely don't fit so something is up.

Speaking of headlights. Ford must have had a miss-pick when filling this order. The part numbers are listed correctly on the boxes:

7R3V-13008-A is actually 7R3V-13006-AC
7R3V-13008-B is actually 7R3V-13006-AD

These are both LEFT headlights, so I know something went wrong. I also am wondering why the part numbers different than what is listed on the box.

I'm aggrivated... [:'(][:'(][:'(]

Nevermind. I'm an idiot and had the foam core installed upsidedown. I still have the issue with the headlights not fitting and being the wrong part number. Anyone experience this or can point me towards any references?

The tabs that go under the head light didn't fit properly with mine so I discarded them. See pic.
I think it's your problem.
