Default Front Bumper

Taking the vette apart to paint it.

I figured I would get the front bumper adjusted the way I want before I paint so so I dont have to worry about scratching it.

Then I will take it off having the know how of how to get it where I want it.

Here are some pics. Over all its not that bad, but it seems like the ends , etc are just not perfect.

Any infor would be great.

Did a search but didnt get to much feed back.

Dan

Looks like it needs one more shim in the passenger side or one less in the driver side. Its really pretty good. The ends always seem to have a bit more gap than the the rest of the hood.
