finally adjusted front bumper gap...

my front bumper has been bugging me ever since i got my L last oct. mine had about the largest gap i had ever seen. so i crawled under there this afternoon and fixed it. it was very easy and took me about one hour by myself.

here are the results...

before



after

Do you have any tips or tricks for doing this? Did you need or use any special tools?

I re-adjusted my grill. I had 3/4 on an inch gap on the passenger side, and 1/4 inch on the drivers side from the factory. Now they are at 1/2 inch.

Wow, this is an old one. I adjusted my grill bytaking off the radiator cover, taking out the headlights, and loosening the bolts that hold the grill surround in place. Then I adjusted it until I liked it, and tightened the bolts back up.
