Stillen Bumper

So I have a Stillen front bumper coming in on Saturday. I have looked all over the forum and have not seen a Stillen bumper DIY. Maybe I missed it

Default Stillen Bumper

So I have a Stillen front bumper coming in on Saturday. I have looked all over the forum and have not seen a Stillen bumper DIY. Maybe I missed it and there are like 5 of them but if anyone knows of a link please let me know. I'm going to start on it Saturday morning and a step by step would be great. I know that most of Stillen directions are not the best (personal experiences)

Ummm...paint it 1st, then put it on, and if you need a DIY on changing the bumper, just pay the guys at the paint shop to put it on 4 u and there ur problem is solved.

What I was really wanting was how to blend the bumper pieces myself. Ive never done any sort of body work. Figured this is about as easy as it gets when learning body work and would love to see the step by step process haha. More mechanical than visual when it comes to cars.

You wont find a DIY here for body work. YouTube might have some that you can apply to what your doing. Get the bumper put together then Fit it to the car. Once you have it on there will be a ton of adjusting to get the lines right.

Once you have it perfect, pull it off and blend it.. What ever you do don't wrap it. You need paint and clear coat before you wrap a part.
