So I bought this car from a friend of mine a few months back and it's got a HORRIBLE gap between the hood, front bumper and the headlights. I've done many repairs to the car and this by far is the worst.
I adjusted the rubber stoppers in the hood already and I know the car has an aftermarket bumper. I've tried a few things but I'm not sure how to fix it being its aftermarket.. Any suggestions?

i think its yoru bumper bud, the hood seems to be sitting lower then the top of fenders already. Try bringing the lights and then the bumper up to meet the hood.

Yea I re-adjusted the rubber stoppers again because its not sitting flush so it's gotta be the bumper. My boyfriends gonna have to take it off and have a look, he said he already pulled the lights in as far as they go but I don't believe him. :p
Thanks. <3

without pulling up on the upper tie bar, the other way is to shim the bumper. also, the left fender front edge needs to go out a bit.

yea what jason said, if your BF said he already adjusted the lights, then maybe the tie bar is down, was it in an accident?? Aligning parts is a big PITA.
