Wink '07 Front Bumper Swap ?

A few months back I did the complete '07 front swap.

I stripped everything from the radiator support forward.

I installed a GREAT fitting aftermarket header panel.

I installed a set of BRAND new OEM headlight assemblies utilizing the readily available conversion harness, (Installed SilverStar ULTRA bulbs)

I installed an aftermarket upper (painted) "pad" (with OEM inside part?)

I had a heck of a time getting the pad to fit the bumper.

I installed a GREAT set of aftermarket fog lights.

I utilized OEM bumper brackets.

I even utilized an OEM front tag bracket.

The very outsides of the "pad" stick out, literally like a sore thumb.

I have since scored a BRAND NEW, never used OEM bumper, and am going to swap bumpers soon.......

Has anyone else that swapped to the '07 bumper had this issue with the edges of the pad sticking out?

The color on the new pad is the correct Ford Oxford White, but my truck was done by a conversion company when brand new, and after the PAINTED ON graphics they clear-coated the whole truck and caused the original oxford white to look more off white kind of like Ford's old Wimbledon White.....
