I ordered a OEM Bumper for my Hatch from JCWhitney, and I finally had enough time to put it on today, but it doesn't exactly fit at all. It seems to be just a tad bit smaller then my original one.. Any suggestions on how to get it fit, etc.?

You ordered an "OEM spec" bumper from JC Whitney. Where is it not lining up? Post some pics.

Did it come with Honda packaging box? There might be a chance that JW doesn't sell OEM but replica OEM. Do post up some pic of where the fitment doesn't meet up as there is a tendency that the mold during production isn't really a true OEM.

Aftermarket rarely fits the same as true OEM stuff; you may have to enlarge the mounting holes on the new piece to get it lined up nice and pretty.

yes i have the same problem mine is to small to haha (thats what she said) but mine also doesnt line up correctly, i would suggest that if you replaced your stock one, either sell them both or get your REAL oem one fixed, or go to a junk yard and find one thats close to the color of your car
