jefe de jefes Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Shouldn't the bumper be a little closer to the valance? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I believe so, mine looks a lot closer. While you're there, have a seat and eat a sammich on that bench :rofl: Quote Link to comment

datto510 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I looks like I can see one of the mounting holes on the bracket in the second pic. Is it mounted correctly? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 i put a cd case in there for reference so you could tell about the gap. oh and a sammich.. Quote Link to comment

jefe de jefes Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I looks like I can see one of the mounting holes on the bracket in the second pic. Is it mounted correctly? Hhmmmm. I took a quick glance the other day and don't recall seeing any mounting holes missing bolts. I'll have to double check in a bit. Maybe the gap is for an intercooler? Yeah , that's it.

jefe de jefes Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Also was wondering. How can it be mounted wrong when the bumper is mounted to the fenders correctly? Quote Link to comment
datto510 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Also was wondering. How can it be mounted wrong when the bumper is mounted to the fenders correctly? Maybe its at a funny angle? Another thought, maybe it was modified to be towed behind a motor home at some point. It's a pretty simple thing, 2 bolts in the bumper bracket, and 2 in the body. If there is anything else, its been messed with. Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted August 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I'm going to take a close look when I get off work. I'll check my other cars as well. Maybe a bracket or something Is different. Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Datto510 , you called it. looks like it is at an angle(bent down). If you look at H2theizzo's pic(thanks for the pics H) His bumper sits right below his parking lights. Mine sits well below the lights. Bent bumper brackets I think. Or need to be adjusted.

Just Joel Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Is it mounted upside down? (assuming that actually makes a difference) Thanks Joel Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Nah, I think the bottom of the bumper has a different shape. The brackets are either bent or need adjustment. I'll know for sure tomorrow Quote Link to comment
Yakuza Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Change the bumper & brackets, the car must have been hit in the front at some point, and the bumper was repaired..I had same problem with a 510 bumper once..i changed it and it was fine.. :D Quote Link to comment
