Called G.I. on Monday and spoke with Scott about fitting the new aluminum rear bumper trim. His answer was to use a block of wood and a big rubber mallet, so I knew I was in for a real job. I ended up making a wooden form the same contour as the body behind the molding and then used a rubber mallet to form the aluminum. It's pretty hard stuff and the rubber mallet probably wouldn't hurt it, but I covered it in masking tape to protect the finish. It would have been quicker to make the form the full length of the bumper and work on both ends at the same time, but I didn't have a 2x6 long enough. I think it would be a whole lot easier forming these out of a straight piece of molding about 2 foot longer so as to have something to grasp and pull around the ends. Anyway it's done. I think it's about the same way that Dave did his.
