what do you guys think is wrong with this picture........













.....there is a big gap inbetween the bottom right of my grill and the bumper. How can i fix this?

 

everyone looks at their car and notices little things that annoy them, i allways do it my girl says i drive her nuts with that....im allways sayind "do u see that" or "do u hear that"

 

That looks normal. I think you're staring at your car too much.

 

its not cause, i can't fit a finger on the left side, but on the right i can and you can notice it in person

 

Maybe your front bumper is out of alignment then. People won't notice things unless you point them out.

 

.......i did in my first post

 

well have you checked all around the bumper - I mean all the little snaps and make sure the clips on the sides are connected good. I can see it, but it would just have to be something like that.

 

LOL, I know, but I'm saying that if you didn't point it out, no one would notice it except you.

 

Are you the original owner of the car?

 

No car is perfect.

Just like your paired organs are not identical shape and size. Your eyebrows are at different heights.

You get to a point where you say "Its good enough".

But hey, its your car. Personally I was thinking that 3.2 TL emblem in the grill was what was wrong

 

No offense intended but

 

no, but when i bought the car, the bumper wasnt a problem

 

lol yea, wanna change that soon

 

Have you had the bumper off?

 

front license plate is there. remove! :troutslap

 

nope

 

I'm stumped.

 

remove and replace frot bumper making sure you put it back the right way, thats it

 

^^^yea thats what i was gonna end up doin when i put my kit on.....thanks for all the response

 

 

there are screws inside the wheel wells that hold it up.. u might want to check them also

 

looks ok on the side, sagging front left, check the clips, eh wtf check everything

 

if u just posed that pix and didnt say anything about the gap i bet i would have never noticed lol

 

I GOT IT! I know what's wrong.

Your brake tag is on the passenger side instead of the driver side windshield.

That is unless you imported a JDM Inspire and did a LH drive conversion...

Anyway, that gap IS indeed hideous. It stands out more since you have a light colored car.

Loosen the bumper bolts on that side. Then find a good hold on that side of the bumper and pull up or push up as much as possible. Hold it there and tighten the bolts real good.

 

i tried to lift up the bumper on the side with the gap, as it is right now, the thing didnt even budge!

 

No he's right. There's a tiny gap at the top of the bumper and bottom of grill area.

 

 

thank you for the observations




ehh

 

Meldy, your TL could have been in a tiny accident before and that could be the result of it. If the gap worries you THAT much, bring it to a body shop. We all see the gap, but only because you told us to look at it. If you don't tell people about it, they won't know.

 

you really have to stare at it for awhile until you notice the gap.

I thought you were referring to the chip on the bumper...

 

me too...

i understand it gets annoying because you know about it and can't help to look at it everytime you are around the car, but a minor thing like that should just be not bothered (easier said than done, i know).

there's a this thing i've got.... that hideous 4-finger-high gap between my front wheels and the fender
