Default installing ings rear bumper

i need some help. i am drying fitting my rear bumper, i got everthing to work out but one thing. on the oem bumper got the square holes cut out. the ings bumper doesn't. this is making the bumper to stick out lil more then the fender.

has anyone had this problem? should i cut them out just like the oem bumper??

NOW i see what you're talking about. according to my pics, my old ings bumper didn't have those holes either. it does stick out maybe 2-3mm from the rear qtr panel. i haven't had any issues with it whatsoever.

I would use a drill or Dremel to replicate the holes in the stock bumper. Even if it doesn't work you won't lose anything, but if it works it will look much better.
