Default Bumper problems

Hi My bumper on my 4th gen had a 1" gap between the lights so i assumed my bumper sagged, I bought a CAI recently and I finally found myself having enough time today to take off the bumper install the CAI and figure out that sag... however taking off the bumper I had to break 3 of the plastic clips below the headlight and i found on the other headlight it was missing all of the screw clips so i found out that to remove the clips under the headlights was easy break it. but my question is how would you install them?

you have to remove the headlight to install the clips. However, they really are not needed. I left those off just to make bumper removal easier.

what do you suggest for my 1" gap? those little square vent things are flush but the headlights have the gap can you readjust the lights to fit flush?

well you guys are taking your bumper off wrong. your bumper comes off with your bumper support. so you arn't supposed to break those clips.

there are two bolts on each side that you get to right behind the front turn signals. Then there is a nut on each side that is under the hood below the headlight.
