    I had measured [with calipers, of course] the location of the front bumper holes on my frame rails on my Sprint this summer when the bumpers were getting plated and found the left and right different. The differences were more than an 1/8 of an inch! Just goes to show how loose the tolerances were to assemble these cars.

    Good thing there are slots on the bumper mounts!:D
