need help with gtr kit, left with a gap

I have a gap between the hood and the bumper. Do you guys have any ideas on what could be the issue.

I've seen this happen before. What you need to do is put the old bumper back on and burn the gtr one as well as the eBay lights and the hood.

I can see the headline now: "God Strikes Down Some Random Dude for Suggesting that Some Other Random Dude Shouldn't Make His Car Ugly".

Don't be silly. You know God would never drive a G35 with a GTR bumper.

eh ur gunna get a lot of responses similar to that. but in all honesty its just because its an aftermarket bumper. not even a high quality one, the gtr bumper is kinda crap and known to have that gap there. not much you can do at this point. especially since its already painted. but yeah ditch the hood, lights and bumper

It may sound crazy, but either your headlights are too large or are not installed properly. They should lay flush with your fenders, but look like they are too low at the bottom and not allowing the bumper to seat properly.

The body line where your hood and fender intersect just above your headlights look like it is lined up pretty good.

dude its fine. theres a lot of people on here that have already gone through all those aggro stages. you are just starting out on your journey. trust me, if you keep the car for more than 3 or 4 years you will be in the same boat we all are. cleanest lines and look is a factory kit with lips and such. but yeah man do ur thing, as long as u like it whatevs

I've seen the google images and noticed that my gap is a little bigger. I just wanted to know if you guys seen this before because there were a couple of website posts with people with the exact same issue as the one in having.
