so i installed my VRD grilles today (they look sick) but now my bumper sits kinda low. pics below. Is something wrong? I may take off the bumper and reput it back on to see.







Help?

 

thats natural

 

It's normal. I see that gap on like every tc. The first day I noticed mine I thought "oh crap" then i looked at other TC's...even at the dealership and they are the same way.

 

unfourtanetly, its normal. although ive seen worse!

 

well... maybe.. the gap below the headlights seems like a lil bit too big.. but the HUGE gap between the hood and the bumper is normal....

i would take it off and reinstall it.

 

wow, that is a HUGE gap. that isnt normal, thats the largest gap ive ever seen on a tc. fix it, tighten it.

 

Actually, it could be weighed down from all that DIRT on your car! Go to the car wash!!!!!

 

most noticeable on FM's though...

 

i use zip ties for the holes on the top of the bumper, the one in the middle and the few around the headlight, that way you can pull it way tighter than the stupid fragile black plug things

 

It's disobeying you because it hasn't been washed.

 

lol kinda funny how people think its bkuz you didnt wash your car. heres advise to fix it..WASH YOUR CAR! lol..jk err..im not sure but if its like an rsx, is there clips under the headlight that hold up the bumper? lol ive only taken apart an rsx and not a tc. >.< well only rear of the tc.

 

grills look good though
but ur car is disgusting bro. wash it. wash your a$$ too, i bet its even dirtier

 

There's a bracket under the headlights that the bumper slides into, you could try re-installing your bumper to see if it's on properly. But judging from the pics, it looks normal, I could be wrong though

 

For me that's not normal. It's waaay off, lol!

I also took off my bumper cover to install my VRDs and my aftermarket horns, when I put it back it was off by a millimeter or two (bearable). But not as off as yours....

So yeah, try to reinstall it and see if it comes back to (almost) normal.

 

what's that plastic hangin out of your grille? x2 on the dirty car. lol! and i thought my car is dirty...

 

ya about the dirt... i have been waiting to wash my car until i put the grilles on. i am going to take it off in the morning i think and reinstall it. thanks for the responses tho!

 

yeah, you didn't put it on tight enough, i had this problem too, really didn't fix it until...i got hit by a deer and the body shop replaced the bumper...so you gotta try again.

 

you think i can do it w/o taking off the bumper of does it need to come off?

 

I have the same problem I took off my front bumper to put on my front oem lip, never really checked before but when i put the bumber back on i was able to move it up and down as if though it was a little loose and was wondering if that is normal or if i did something wrong?? Cause it looks pretty much like the pix you posted. I have been thinking of taking it off and putting it back on, but it was a pain to put it on the first time and am not looking forward in going through that again and what if it does not even make a difference. Whats to do, what to do ???

 

i know, i really dont want to, esp by myself. I think i may call on a friend to help out. Ah, it sucks...
