    Default NEED, help/tips to adjust my front bumper straight!

    My front bumper as u can see isnt on properly, do you have any tips on fixing this problem??? plzz tell me its easy :p

    BLACK- top right sits higher than the left. ii dont know if the right or the left is the proper position but its clearly off.

    RED- the bumper itself doesnt sit right with the headlights. the passenger side headlight and the bumper dont fit together, the bumper is overlapping the light a little. This creates a gap underneath the headlight and the bumper. if i try and push it in, the right side pops out from the quarter panel. the drivers side also has this problem with the gap underneath the headlight but its secure with the quarter panel better.

    ITEM MISSING- in my passengers side wheel well its missing a rivet or screw that holds the front bumper on, i know it will help the problem, but i dont see one screw fixing this bumpers entire offset..???

    sorry that was long, if you know anything that could help me it would be much appreciated!! thanks

    Was the bumper recently removed? Been in an accident?? I've been taking mine on and off over the past few weeks to work on lights and horns, but it always went back on straight.
    There are only a few fasteners on the top portion of the bumper/grill area that really make it line up. If those are in, or used the wrong fastening area's that may cause the slight sag.

    I would suggest finding a how to on how to remove the bumper and take note of the fastening area's. See if yours are all done properly.

    That might be it. It's likely possible that the frame underneath is what is to blame. If that's the case, can't fix it without some serious work. I'd just leave it. It wouldn't be worth it.
