So you bought a 95 del sol bumper, but you never told us what car it's going on - I'm assuming a 95 del sol. If it doesn't fit, return it.

that box is just part of the stock intake. the bumper is supposed to go in between the headlight and the piece your talking about. do you have both of the screws that hold the bumper to the fender? that could be why it looks saggish.

The bumper is attached to the fender with one bolt. And the fender is also attached to a bracket by a bolt... I bent the bracket down, but no luck closing the gap. Maybe the bumper is out of shape and needs to be replaced.... I will try that next...
