Sorry about the lighting. I havn't put everything on yet but it just looks odd. There is a 3/4 in gap between the lights and the bumper. Is it supposed to be there?

that's 99% fitment for you. It's typical, but I don't think it's "suppose" to do that.

Either lower the lights mounting angle, or shave part of the front bumper on top to get it to line up "right".

From the looks of it, you should be able to shave this corner piece flat:

not so much. Are you using the JDM bumper support or did you cut the USDM one and throw it on there?

See how it hangs down a little in this pic?Thats probably because it is so old that it is drooping. Put something under it to support it if you are worried about it.

The bumper is not hanging and I'm not using a bumper support. Its a brand new origin body kit. I don't want to grind down that little corner b/c it looks like it'll weaken the bumper but I might have to. Why the hell did they put it there in the first place? I lined up the grooves on the bumper with the ones on the fender. I have to be doing something wrong or maybe those idiots wanted it to look like this.
