bumper FAIL

I tried and I tried.. I had someone help, I grappled, tugged, pulled and this was the best I could do.






It was badly misaligned when I bought it, so this is an improvement but not as good as I wanted it to be. I can tell my front bumper was repainted, I assume the prev. owner must have bumped into something and screwed the left bumper mount up or the fender itself bc the right side lined up nearly perfect...





i'll screw with it again when I put in factory fog lights.

Yeah that's how mine looked when I bought it... I didn't look close enough to see it then, though. But a tree jumped out in front of me a couple weeks ago on that side, so maybe when I get a replacement panel it'll fit better. Wishful thinking? Yeah...

Looks pretty good to me, I can see it's a bit off, but looks pretty square on, I'm guessing there's gaps?

Looks better than mine. I've got a gap between my bumper and headlights that will not go away.

You arent the only ones. My front has a minor gap, but my back bumper has quite the gaps at the quarters. I think it is due to many years of weathering and the plastics are "relaxing." It just makes me worry when I drive in the winter time with the snow and slush finding its way in

I would say your car was in a rear end accident if it doesn't line up with the quarters
