    Rule 1: No one on this forum is EVER serious. Problems WILL happen when you take anything said on TRDforums too seriously.

    No, but nice try bro. It's because my bumper is ALREADY melted, the inside of the valence doesn't fit properly because the bumper is so warped. I'll put it on and show you guys. I only take it off when I go on the freeway for long distances without stopping. Around town it always stays. But until I get a new rear bumper, or unless I can figure out a way to get it on there properly, they will be off.

    Maybe post a pic of how the damage interferes with the lip? I'm sure our collective TRD knowledge can come up with something.

    Or Advance Auto. Or Pep Boys. LOL.

    You could have at least removed the sticker. Unless you were planning to return it?

    It's because the bumper is melted, and you know that little piece of sheetmetal I put as a heatshield of sorts (I still don't know if I ever posted those)? Anyway yeah that doesn't line up with the bumper exactly, and the edge of the lip is exactly where the heatshield goes.

    I remember you mentioned a heat shield lol. I guess the first step would be to fix the exhaust... then remove the heat shield, then fix the bumper as needed.

    Well that's the plan but bumpers are never for sale up here at a reasonable price. So I'm gonna lower the exhaust, then replace the heatshield with thicker metal (this one even melted too), but try to line up the metal exactly with the bumper, then reinstall the lip.

    $15/hour welder assistant?

    I like the night pics because they have a good lighting. Good lighting is all you need, both day and night. Lighting is everything.

    Pretty sure you need at least 1+ year experience and certification though.

    The 15 an hour is the pay during the training. The real money comes after that.

    Some kind of Enkei, not sure which one though. 16x7 I think? CorollaGT would know. I'm a little over 4 inches in the front and about 3 in the back.
