You should be aware that fitment will vary depending on supplier, and nothing is going to be a perfect straight bolt-up. That being said, mine fit very well with only minor tweaking required. I had just a little bit of total width difference L to R between the bumper and the car; maybe 1/2" total? I started bolting up in the middle and when I got to the left and right ends I was able to slightly flex the quarter panel out while pushing the FG bumper in. Then I clamped it down before drilling the mounting holes on the ends. Pretty much standard fitting methods. The end result was fine, just a TINY bit of an outward point where the two parts met.
