Message worked pretty well, glad i checked this beforehand since it would't have occured to me to do this. I heated up the goo and the metal then popped them on and tried to press them down / screw the bolts as quickly as possible before it cooled down.

I think it came out pretty well, it's pretty flush with the bumper and stuff. I had a little trouble with the center panel sticking out a little on the right side. For a minute i thought I strippped the damn threaded post. I found that undoing everything and then bolting down the right side real well first evened it out pretty well. It's not 100% perfect but pretty close. I think the OEM's were a tiny bit off on the center panel right side as well. One thing i notices is that the foam here is much thicker from not being pressed down for so long. I'm sure over time this will change over time. I may do another round of hairdryer and butt presses tonight before i put the interior pieces back together :) I'm sure the AZ heat will take care of it in a few months anyway.

Ensured proper operation, and man what a difference aesthetically. It's like a new car!!!! Well worth the $$$. I will post some pics later.
