OWNED by my bumper

yes yes, by my bumper.

the passenger side has been sagging some lately, so i took off my bumper to find the problem.
once i got it off, i couldnt really find any problem.
there were a few little things that i fixed, but nothing major that really affected the sag.
i put it back on, and dammit, it still sags, maybe even worse.
plus, on the drivers side now, i can see a little bit of light coming through the crack of my headlight and fender.
i didnt even touch that part!
the weird thing is that the light is yellowish, and all my bulbs are white (a little blue)..
so i have no clue how that happened or where it's coming from

im not happy about this..

it was raining all day off and on, so i was out there getting all wet (until i had the thought to bring my car in the garage... derrr) and for nothing!

at least i know what to do now if i need to take it off again.

if anyone who hasnt taken off their bumper and is going to at some point, i suggest having someone help you put it back on.
i had to do this alone, and getting it back on got tiresome very quickly.

well, here are some sexy bumperless pictures

you got the wrong tranny cooler.. you need a stacked plate one. yours is a tube fin. which dont work 1/4 as well as the stacked plates.

yeah, the tranny cooler wasnt the kind i wanted, but i was down at school and that's all the closest shop had.
so, whatever, it works.
it didnt fit in horizontally or vertically, so i had to tilt one side forward and then up. very indeed.
the horns are moved to fit the tranny cooler.
everything else is normal, but my bulbs are hanging there in plastic bags because it was all wet out and raining off and on.

i'm pretty sure it's very illegal to have no bumper.
but i was tempted....
