Anybody help? I want to get rid of this huge gaps, my hole fingers fits in there.
I was planning on removing the bumper to re-adjust it tomorrow, but I'm not sure, I was looking closely and I see a big plastic like a big clip from the same bumper, looks like a clip that is used to hang on something, well that is touching the headlight and not making the bumper go more into the car, it's like stopping it there.
I circled the piece that I'm talking about, well let me knows guys, what to do...

Remember, I have a 2009 coupe with a 2012 front-end.

Based on the pic you posted....that gap looks about normal. You may be able to reduce the size of the gap a tad bit. Your best bet is to have a reputable body shop give you some feedback. :yesnod The best way to reduce the gap will most likely be by slightly reshaping/lifting the gap via a heat gun.

Hello, yesterday I took off the front bumper, re-adjusted it, now I have just a bit less gap which is better now!

Good to hear....the gaps on the 4th gen Altima are a bit large all together in my opinion. Don't go messing with the gap under your headlights to much as they are normal for the coupe. :yesnod
