You'll have that with lower priced bumpers. They usually take a lot of work to get proper fitment.

That doesn't even look like it was molded for a celica. Gonna need lots of work. Ur gonna have to cut slits and make it fit. If not I'd keep the stock one and get add-on lips

it's possible to make it work but it's going to take a lot of work. I thought VIS parts weren't too bad... guess i'm wrong.

You're going to lose more money. To make it fit perfectly flush, you'll need to bring it to a shop for them to work on it. YOu can do it yourself and see if you're able to flush it. Either way, good luck.

i would send the picture to the retailer and request money back, because youll be wasting a lot of time trying to fix that.
low price 300, yes, believe it. Good bumpers go in the average of 1000+ and up. At least well reknown body kits. sorry bro. but next time, if anyone wants a cheap body kit think about it twice, its better to buy a used one, because u know it fits. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

^^^ This. Get some estimates before dropping the car off and surprising your grandpa with a huge bill. VIS, Veilside, eBay, $300, $1,000,000, brand or cost doesn't matter if the bumper doesn't fit.

That came from Andy's? If so they normally pretty good about stuff like that, just explain to them the car was down for other work and now your trying to install there part but it looks like they sent you the wrong application. As long as your not trying to get money back they will help you, of course you will have to cover the shipping.
