My bumper won't line up right, it has a gap between the car and the bumper and it sticks out too far.

After installing my ASP FMIC my bumper does not line up properly, yes, I did check to make sure that the IC piping are not the problem. I did search and found out that you can use this:

But except this and turning the bumper support screw up a few mm what else can I do?

AND, how do fix the pass side bumper that sticks out?

This is very frustrating.

You screwed the bumper to the fender I take it?

MySTG3S4

Nope, didn't screw in an EXTRA screws, jus the 2 that it comes with bumper on each side.

job under warranty. They had actually bent the sheet steel the mount is screwed into a little. I pulled the bumper off and just pushed and pushed until it was back in a bit, then put the bumper back on.

Good luck!

Looks almost as though the bumper end might not be properly 'snapped' into the bracket.

if not, line up the side to where its supposed to be, and with the bottom of your palm... give it a good wack it should snap right in.

if neither of these work... the ghetto solution is, a sheet metal screw.

The bumper should have a screw on each side that goes into the fender.

MySTG3S4

Thanks guys, I finally got it on right and the gap is much less.

iconoclast

what was the solution?

MySTG3S4

I really don't' know.... i took the stupid thing off and adjusted the side brackets by banging them in just a bit. I also turned the screw on top of the bumper support holder about 4-5 mm higher so the bumper sits higher.
