(PICS) Any adjustment in the front bumper cover?
So a few days ago, I had a new front bumper cover painted and installed. It looks good, but it looks like one side of the cover is cinched up tighter against the body than the other. In other words, it just looks slightly crooked. Is there any slight adjustment possible in the mounting hardware...just to tweak it a bit? (By the way, I'm healing from neck surgery...that's why I keep asking questions I'd normally figure out for myself
.)
.)

RE: Any adjustment in the front bumper cover?
Ok, this is the right side of the bumper cover. It's too closeto the hood, and butted hard up against the fender.
Versus the left side (which looks good).
And the bottom driver's side is a bit off as well:
The passenger side bottom is nothing to bring in for show-and-tell either:
Can any of these gaps be straightened out, or is there only one way to mount the bumper cover? Anyway, here is another picture I took of the whole car, since the addition of BBK 1.5" lowering springs. Filthy, and not a great pic, but here it is anyway.

I would just see if there is any bolts/clips on the bumper cover,loosen them along with the fender bolts and then see if you can adjust it some.

Thanks for the replies, fellas. I'm glad you said that, as opposed to, "Yeah, some of those aftermarket bumper covers just fit like that." I'll have someone look at it.

There will be a total of 3 1/4" bolts with nut from the top and down the side along with a metal backing bar and 2 more 1/4" bolts with nuts on the bottom that hold the bumper cover to the fender.
In this pic you can see the 3 nuts and the backing bar.

RE: Any adjustment in the front bumper cover?
Thanks for the pictures, Almost Stock. So are any of the mounting holes slotted so that some movement is possible once the bolts are loosened? Looking at the picture, it just looks like the bumper cover can either be on or off...with no adjustment possible. God I wish I could just get in there and have a look for myself[&o]. Any thoughts?
