I've been fighting mine for 4 days now, but that was expected. There is a lot of cutting and welding involved. Anyway, I too would love to see the SS ones installed. I was going to say use an old pinch weld type weather strip on the inner edge of the bumper while lining it up to protect paint. There is precious little adjustment built in, bending or "tweaking" may be needed. Coincidentally, ford and dodge trucks require the same treatment today to line up and look right. Progress?

I was pretty surprised to find how sturdy the bumper is once you do get it locked down.
