My nose is weird

I need help with the nose/front bumper of my Firebird.

The center of the nose/bumper where it comes to a point sits about .5 to.75 inches higher than the hood. Why and how do i fix it

my guess is that it's warped, and a replacement is the only possible fix, I could be wrong tho.

try adjusting those bump stops. There are two that look like rubber screws that adjust the height of the hood

the nose on my T/A doesn't line up perfectly with the hood either. I attribute it to the, uh, less than astounding fit and finish on our wonderful 80's automobiles.
