Front bumper gap?

Well i fixed it but found some interesting problems that were never
resolved from the body shop.. Basically my passenger side bumper sags
out because the bolt that is supposed to hold it in place was torn out and
jerry rigged back into place with some foreign gray piece of plastic.. So while
the bumper looks good the left looks droopy lol.. I talked to the manager
just now and i'm gonna stop by after class and explain to him my findings..


As far as how to go about adjusting the bumper FATJACK couldn't have
made it more simple.. Basically because i did this my self i loosened up
all four bolts so they weren't tight but weren't loose and picked up one
side, tightended, then picked up the other side and tightened. Worked
like a charm.. I used an 18mm deep socket with a pivot joint and two
extensions :D
 
Will this work for an '06. I need to bring mine down a little on the right side.
 
Don't mean to bring this back from the dead but after a GTG i checked
out another SRT there and he had the same kinda hole but his bumper
was sitting properly.. The problem with mine is the side of the bumper
cover sticks out. I can push it in and it fills the gap between the headlight
and bumper much better but i haven't figured out how to get it to stay like
that.

First picture is the problem hole, i'm not sure if that's how it should look..
Sure as hell doesn't seem right. Other pictures are from a car show i went
to recently with moparmagic :rock: Because i know how much you
bastages love pictures :D :D :rock: ;)

How so? everything bolts back up ok but the bumper corner just flairs out
too much and creates a larger gap on my passenger side... You know,
i'm gonna take a look at my driver side and see if it's got a hole like that..

I'll post pics when i'm done. :rock:

EDIT: I'm done! :D well sad news is i think i know why the insurance tried to wiggle out
of it. From the looks of the driver side i think it's all one large piece up under the bumper cover
and my passenger side just happens to have a bolt mount ripped out.. wish there was a simple
fix but i don't like to jury rig stuff.. I'm hoping SnakeBite pulls through
for me but if he already sold it i'm gonna get a quote from dragon
and if it's high, just bring it back and tell them to fix it..
