nope , just used a heat gun and 1 very careful thin cut. Pretty much heat the bumper and while and once its hot (dont melt it) fold it by hand, then test fit the light. When I got it real close I used fiber glass underneath the bumper to hold it and sanded the bumper till the tail light looked good there

They look great!! The trunk is like 2mm if THAT off...which is nothing compared to the hundreds of other problems you could have had. Great work!!!

Yea but those 2mm piss me off just cause i know its there lol. I just cant wait to see it painted Im sure that will make it look alot better.
