Anyone else have issues with a gap from their hood to their bumper? Mine is very noticeable and it annoys the shit out of me and cant seem to figure out what is causing the issue.. maybe the FMIC not sure tho anyone have a fix for this?

lower the bump stops, if there's still a gap, put garage seal in between the hood and bumper, it's what I did, looks pretty good...

there was a thread about this somewhere... the guy put washers and raised the front bumper up on the 3 bolts that are on the frame underneath the hood. i think he bought longer bolts too. i tried to find it... no luck.

I understand the issue its just fixing it. A. lower hood bump stops B. do the washer.

If i lift the front bumper up from the bottem its perfect fit. I dont know if their is some sort of front bumper support that is made/sold? Also the 3 screws that are hold the top bumper to the front are striped out like most peopls are. Im sure if i find some sort of washer/nut combo i can make it look right. Im at work and cant take a pic till I get home but its a nice 1" - 1 1/2" gap

Who here hates the hood/bumper gap??? How I fixed mine...

Washers under the screws and push the bumper as close to the car as you tighten them.

Blink182peps · 09-15-2009, 07:22 AM

what size screws u suggest if mine are stripped out cuz weak sauce holes?

Blink182peps · 09-15-2009, 01:03 PM

ok i did the washer's put 5 in each hole and pushed bumper as close as could. Found the screws and washers from my job so it looks tons better but if the hood was to come down more on each side it would be perfect ( thinking i may need to add few more washers to pass side n driver side..

Here is how it came out:

looks like the hood itself is off. the corner of the hood on the passenger sticks up higher than the driver side....
