How do i align the front bumper? Or is it even the bumper?
So there is to big of a gap between the front bumper and the hood when fully closed. the hood ajustments on both sides are ajusted so that the hood and tops of the enders are perfectly flush, and the fenders to front bumper look linned up aswell. and theres still a gap. what can i do to fix this. would the lip of my hood be bent up a little. im lost. thanks!

thats normal almost every third gen has this problem what I did on my old camaro was take of the black plastic piece around the latch, and loosened all the bolts and pushed my bumper in(took two people and a little help from my dads fat @$$ pushing against it), and got rid of the gap completely

Nahh mines a Z28 with and Iroc-z package. In 86 it wasented the Iroc yes. the Iroc parts it just the hood, and decals i deleve in 86. then 87 there would be the airbox. Not positive but i beleave so mines the LG4 and iroc so it wasent ever TPI. but thanks ill try that!

The headlight plastic is one piece. The center of the bumper attaches to the center of the headlight bar. Remove the center cover in front of the hood latch and you will have a little adjustment , and im pretty sure the hood hangs over longer than the fenders about and inch and a half.
