Nice car. I like it. I can see that is where some nice street racing must happen at nights.

You shouldn't have to heat it up, did you try taking off the bumper and fitting the lip? Maybe your bumper is just tweaked out of shape. If not, then maybe they sent you a defective part, or it's the lip for a different model.

That sucks, you should try and get your money back. I can understand if it's like a half an inch off, but any more than that, and it's just poorly made. It's weird, cause I've seen that lip on a few hatches, and it looks like it fits pretty well.

maybe you could stretch the lip a little. but an inch seems a lot.
anyway, nice car.
