bumpers have gap

[V8Killer25]

I dont have any pics to show but I was wondering how could I get rid of the gaps between bumpers. its about a Inch, inch and half gap.

Depending on what location maybe some washers could help bring it up.

Do you have your bumper support In the front? When people remove it their bumper tends to sag under the lights.

And for the rear it's normal to have a little gap under the taillights.

If you have removed your bumper supports, did you put them back on correctly? For reference on the front support the notches on either end need to be on the bottom.

Pics would be great, also are you referring to stock bumpers, or aftermarket/bodykit .

I will assume it's because of the Kit, if so is it fiberglass or urethane? urethane must be installed the same way the OEM mounts, if it's FG then some modification needs to be performed.

Hmmm I also have about 1/2 gap right under the front head lights closest to the middle part. IDK whether its because of the ebay headlights or that is just how mine is. I've seen a few DSMs with it and a few without. BTW my front bumper is OEM and is not hacked other than some trimming up front to make the mouth bigger for the FMIC

Yes it is a kit I put it back together the way I took it apart. The only thing that didn't go back on was the fog lights. It is a urethane.

When you installed the Kit, did you also transfer over the metal support pieces from the OEM? if not it would account for the sagging. Also did you check the Bumper support? There are 2 mounting points under each headlight, if you don't see those, and the notches are at the top then the bumper support is upside down.

Did you remove the Bumper support for the rear? the Blitz rear is impossible to fit with it in place?

Ok on the front I think thats what it is because there are two bolt hole under each light. and yes I had to remove the rear support because it didnt fit.

Then there's your problem, a Urethane body-kit doesn't have the support of a FG kit. You'll need to figure out how to add support to the rear to fit correctly.

For the front you'll need to attach the bumper to those holes under the light to close the gap.
