Bumper+Hood gaps

[bushido]

The gaps on the left and right side have been bugging me a bit. How can we permanently fix this?
Ive tried loosening those 2 small screws at the front of bumper. Inside the wheel well..Pushing the bumper up more. Then re-tightening those 2 small screws. It does hold, but after driving around. It goes back to the same place.

There's a comment to be made here but I'm going have to let it slide since it's not in the AG section!! :shady:

Come on, how about some serious inputs? I know there are a few GTS owners who have this issue to..

Have you let a body shop or your dealership look at it?

I am assuming you are talking about the front fascia/ hood gap. It's always been a complaint and I've seen where a few guys have taken it to dealers or body shops to make it better. I can't say I've ever seen consistent results, though. Sometimes doing this will end up making it worse or causing another area to be unaligned.

Bumper support to frame shims control the hood/fascia gap. Front frame horn bolts control L/R, U/D of the fascia near the center of the car. The corner bolts are only half the adjustment available at the outer corners. The strut rods also can be adjusted at the side of the frame horns.

Start with rear hood alignment - door and sill gaps. Next, you pull the fascia off with the bumper support attached to see all the adjustments available. Reinstall and align the front fascia. Note the headlight bucket alignment. Remove fascia and align the headlight buckets. Reinstall fascia. Re-aim headlights. (4 or 5mm hex socket.)

Properly done, this is a 2-man job.
