I think more along the lines they tell you to put the glue that way it sqeezes out into the crack to help fill it. Or are you meaning by using the glue to fill the crack that is what actully is going to start to crack and cause flaws in the paint? sorry for not understanding i am sure you put it in a good enough explanation but i am stupid in the body work area.

no problem man... well even with the bolts... just the fact that its not one piece it will get a hairline crack no matter what... even if you bolted it together riveted it and all the other things you can think of holding the pieces together it will always crack because poly always moves... you cant see it with the naked eye but its there man... when the sun beats down on your car... the pieces will move.... plastic gets soft when it gets hot... same with poly... it will move when your bumper is hitting the highway at 60 miles per hour, plus the road shaking the bumper, it all effects the bumper and makes it move not to mention the seperate pieces are exactly at the main mounting points....

The amount of money people have to pay to prep it and get it ready correctly to avoid issues is the same as paying for the extra costs of shipping incurred. That is my 2 cents and its a HUGE shame, b/c I do love the look of it.

exactly man.... and i bet there sales would double.... or even triple... there is no other poly bumper in the market.. all the jdm stuff is just frp... and i dont care how tuff people make frp seem but its still fiberglass.... when i finally have my amuse... imma be the most paranoid guy in the world because the minute i slamm a deep enough pot hole or speed bump craccckkkkk lol and there goes 1,500  if stillen just spent a little more extra time in refining their aero products i would soo be all over it...i love the sides and front bumper from stillen... and the price is badass... just not the fitment LOL... just my 2cents
