Ok, so, I have my molded pieces of the front bumper (tape was a bad idea but I got it off and it worked sorta) now I have my pieces shaped but i'm finding they are curling away from the car. should I go ahead with the fiberglass and try to straighten them out by doing that or should scrap the curled pieces and re-plan my approach?
