I need your help. I was recently rear-ended in my '05 Mustang GT ( :damnit: !!!). So I took it to the dealership that I purchased it from do to the repairs. I figured a FORD dealership would be the best place. All-in-all, the damage wasn't THAT bad. The bumper definitely needed to be replaced, and my left exhaust pipe / muffler was replaced as well. About $1200 in damage.
Anyway, the reason I'm posting on here is becuase I'm extremely unhappy with the replacement bumper. There are "mold lines" at the corner where the bumper meets the wheel wells. On top of that, the corner is rounded in a way that it doesn't completely come to the edge to meet the sheet metal on the wheel well. I'm attaching some pictures for illustration purposes. I'm hoping that someone can either post similar pictures of this section of their car (stock bumpers only please) becuase I refuse to believe that Ford's OEM parts are this ****ty. I looked at a V6 '05 Mustang that was in my parking lot here at work yesterday and it looked like it should look, in my opinion. I'm tempted to make these guys order a completely different bumper and replace it again!!!
Thanks!!!
Eric
