Exclamation Need measurements off of 99spec OEM bumper (while installed)!

As fate would have it, none of our cars have the 99spec OEM front bumper on, and we're in need of a measurement off of the 99spec OEM front bumper WHEN ALREADY INSTALLED. Please see the attached photo for a clarification of the measurement we're looking for. We're looking for the actual distance between the two ends of the line on that pic (ie with the tape measure lining flat on the bumper surface, following its contours). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
~Ramy

Ramy,

Just swing by my house here in Ashburn and take the measurements needed. I'd meet ya, but I have some engine parts being polished, so she is down for now.

Mike, can't. I have 1001 things I gotta do before I leave to NJ on Sunday. So if you can get that measurement for me, I'd REALLY appreciate it.

Thanks,

I'll see if the wife has a tape measure and give it a whirl. Hope the fate of some major product doesn't rest on my shoulders though.

I searched the house high and low and can't find a measuring tape. I'll keep looking and post as soon as possible. Seems another member has provided a measurement though.

Thanks to everyone who responded ESPECIALLY ORX705 If someone else wants to verify his measurements I wouldn't say no, but they seem pretty accurate.

Thanks again,
Dan

Could measure it with a piece of paper, mark it, and then use a ruler...if someone can't find a tape.
