Ok so I've got my 93 sitting in the driveway, and I'm looking at it, and I realized that my left headlight had a pretty decent gap between the bottom of the light and the top of that part of the bumper, at least compared to the right side...is there some sort of mounting device i can use to adjust them or am I doomed?

is your bumper sagging or is it the head light? You can loosen the bumper mount and rasie the bumper slightly. I am not talking about the bumber skin either the actual bumber underneath.

Hmms the hood is slightly off center too, seems to be about in line with the headlights...maybe off by 4-5mm. How can I fix that?

check the headlight motors, located right next to the headlights, you can pop off the caps and twist the motors, so the head light goes up and down,(while the car is off, and the headlights are down of course ;)) if it doesn't go all the way down to touch the bumper then there is probably some brackets in there that are bent, like mine :(

yes ive had the same problem. Your bumper and headlight brakets need to be adjusted. I dont know if it is worth it to do that, but it was in my case the bumper. It tends to fall like that after 10 years or so.

if the hod is inline with the head lights but the bumper skin is out of line with both. then it is mearly a main bumper adjustment. when you move the bumper under the skin the skin will go with it.
