Default GT Front Bumper Install...HELP

Got the day off from work due to snow so I decided to install my newly painted GT Front Bumper Cover that I got from Late Model Restoration...CANT DO IT...

1.Does not seem to fit back on the light bar which is off the car..I can get two of the three tabs on the side to line up but not the third.

2.How do the tabs work...should they just push on the studs for the
light bar or do I have to pry them on..

Appreciate any help

hopefully it is not a cheap aftermarket bumper...if it is...good luck...they NEVER line up or fit right. that is why it is best to test fit bumpers before you get it painted

heat the bumper up and it will make it a lil more flexible then you can move it around a lil more...

Got it on the car late yesterday...Had to heat it up and wrestle with it for about an hour or so..then another 30 minutes to get on the car....

Still need some time lining up the rivet holes etc.....next week..

Then it is time to focus on the motor!!!
