Have you guys found that the front and rear clips are just a bit too wide ? I.e. the bumper part of the clips don't really line up with the bumper part on the body.
Just wondering. |

Those kits are pretty much straight reissues of the Monogram kit so it should be the same. There is a problem with the fit of the rear bumper on the 2+2. |

Yep, thanks. I had to "spread" the fenders a tad so that the front and rear clips fit flush with the body -- this helped and the fit is pretty good.
I didn't hear about the 2+2 -- what's the issue there ? |

There is a small gap between the body and the bumper piece that will need to be filled for the bumper to fit correctly. |

There are three “fixes” for the 2+2 rear bumper that I know of
Cut up a Grand Prix front bumper to make filler pieces.
Jim from Salvino’s offers a 3D printed filler option.
Adamthewayne makes a really nice resin rear bumper that deletes the bumper guards and fits like a kit part. |
