My bumper feels loose. And, over bumpy roads, I can see my headlights shake a lot.

Under the hood, the nose panel is broken in a few places (probably from running into low curbs while parking). Will a new nose panel tighten up the bumper? If not, then what causes the bumper to be loose?

There are screw under in the front and to the sides where the wheels are. Im missing a couple myself. I have to reclip my driver's side sometime when I park if Ive been on a rough road.

Yes a broken header panel (the piece piece across the front) will cause the headlights and bumper to be loose, especially the lights.

there are 2 screws (or studs) that mount the bumber cover to the fender, they become rusted and will get loose. need to buy that bracket if if they are rusted.
check the clips that goes into the headlight slots, one of those slots might be broken (up or down) making it move (there are no screws that secure the lights, only the clips)

Thank you for the replies. I'm buying the nose panel from American Muscle. It's less than $200.

The cover over the nose panel has some plastic screws that push in. Also, there are more of these plastic push screws in other areas. Where can I buy new plastic screws (or whatever they are called)?

No idea where to buy but Ive heard they are overpriced. Tried a junk yard?
