Theres a spot on the bumper support where the bumper kind of slides over and holds it up, it kind of looks like the guy didnt slide it onto that, but I could be wrong.

if its an eh3 and that front fender doesn't have the wholes for the side molding its been replaced and would probably explain the poor fitment.

how much is the seller asking and how many miles ?

here is a pick of mine thats never been hit, the bumper is connected to the fender with the factory hardware.

that gap under the corner light is due to the ebay corners, it was not there with the factory corners

I know on EKs you can sometimes see a gap under the headlights too. There is a metal bracket under the headlights that the bumper cover goes over. Those brakets are adjustable to help close the gap, that said mine still have a slight gap.

Ya, I've taken my bumper off and put it back on like 10 times now, and I can't get rid of that gap entirely. I don't think anyone would really notice it besides me though.
