Front Bumper

Hi,

Just bought this 1991 Pontiac Firebird GTA and its got a front bumper that doesn't exactly line up. I'm not sure if its from a different year or what but it looks similar to that years bumper. Everything looks like is should except where the hood and the bumper line up. There is a large gap here, same with between the headlamps and the front bumper. Any ideas?

Thanks

pics would help.. Sometimes you can adjust the hood bump stops to make the hood to bumper line up closer.

Re: Front Bumper

looks like your front nose is saging down. I'm not a bodyman but I think a good trusted body shop will make it sit flush on the cheap. I would just peak under there and make sure everything is not damaged and all things are ok. It looks like it may have been bumped into to cause that.

Yeah, ok thanks!

The bumper is beat up so that might just be what happened. Thanks
