passenger side bumper sag, fixes?
hey guys my bumper is a bit lower on the passenger side causing a gap under the headlight.
i've seen other people with this problem also and was wondering if anyone found a fix for it, or knows how to fix it.
thanks
a picture of what it looks like
looks a little better with my jdm's in because of the small lip on the headlights holding it up

Re: passenger side bumper sag, fixes?
thats weird cause it lines up with your passenger side fender pretty well.
try taking the bumper cover off and then moving the actual bumper farther up on the pass side. you might have to drill out those two holes.

Re: passenger side bumper sag, fixes?
there's actually a small gap towards the front of the fender, if i push it up, it all lines up correctly, i was wondering if maybe a support bracket broke or something

Re: passenger side bumper sag, fixes?
thats possible too. there is a thin metal strip that runs along the bumper, they get rust over time and become pretty weak. maybe it broke? on that side. it makes it look like your car has a black eye tho which is pretty sick.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

-two 7mm bolts on the sides closer to the tires
-2 10mm bolts and 2 10mm nuts by the hood release (10 mm nuts under the metal brackets of the 10mm bolts)
-2 10mm bolts on a small metal bracket under both the driver and passenger side (you'll see it when ur looking under)
that should be everything, i didn't see the screw behind the turn signal which is what messed me up
Re: passenger side bumper sag, fixes?
Hey thanks for the info, I don't want to install the projectors untill the bumper is bang on.

Re: passenger side bumper sag, fixes?
maybe like projectzemx3 said u can try drilling a hole closer to the head light and add an extra bolt (maybe with plastic clip or something) for more protection/ better positioning
Re: passenger side bumper sag, fixes?
I had to drill a new hole just below the existing one behind the turn signal light. I also added a piece of plastic bread board held in place with epoxy just under the bumper skin at the head light. Mines good now.
