    Bumper Gaps?

    I wanted to ask if someone could give me some ideas on what could be causing my bumper gap issue and possibly how to resolve it. As you can see in the pic below the bumper is not leveled and there is a major gap on the passenger side. To some people this might not bother them but I'm really OCD lol, and it bothers me that it's not flush. I bought a new valance, hood, and both fenders and now I'm wondering if I should order new bumpers but the prices on them are pretty crazy for both pieces of the front bumper it comes close to $400+. Do you guys think adjusting the brackets on the passenger side could remedy this? Any help would be appreciated.

    I'd venture to guess someone towed that car and jerked on it pretty hard, pulling the shock out a bit.

    There is some adjustment in the slip fit of the bumper hardware over the shock, but not enough to take care of that.

    Loosen the bolt (not take it out) and you can move the bumper around a little bit and see.

      I would try adjusting the bracket. It only takes a few minutes
