need help installing rear bumper

Just bought a rear bumper and I know it should fit, but I can't get it to fit. Anyone else done this?? Any pointers? My vette's an early '76 and the bumper should fit a 74-82. This thing is whoopin my a$$.

I can't get the top to line up. Anyone that's done this and had as hard a time as I'm having...feel free to chime in.

Is it a fiber glass or flex fit?

I know alot of people on this forum had problems with the fiber glass one.

My flex-fit rear facia from Eckler's fit nicely right out of the box.

Can you post pics? One person's idea of poor fitment might be satisfactory to someone else.
