First, thank you for your purchase and review for the bumper cover. Our bumper covers come folded, as the majority of unpainted aftermarket bumper covers do. We do this to help our customers save on shipping costs, and take extra precautions to ensure that the fit, quality, and integrity of our bumper covers are not compromised in the process. If you are unable to place the bumper cover out in the sun, apply heat on the “creased” area(s) with a heat gun or hair dryer. Be careful not to apply too much heat, as this could distort or melt the material. Any minor imperfections should be sufficiently concealed once you proceed with painting and installing your bumper cover. If you need further assistance, or have any questions or concerns, please refer to the email we have sent so we can assist you further. Again, thank you for taking time to review our part.
