Fixing my grill



How do I fix this guys? There's a HUGE gap. My hood and bumper seem to be on pretty right so I think it's my grill unfortunately, however many other members have this grill and it seems to fit fine. Maybe I have a lemon?

is it installed correctly? Do these grills not have tabs to attach to the bumper on the lower portion? (as the stock grill does)

One thing that I would like to note is that sending me a PM first would have been the best way to get proper mounting advise.

The first thing that I notice is that you have a non OEM bumper installed. Both parts will have variations since this grill was designed using an OEM bumper and not that bumper.

To resolve the lower gap between the grill and Karuma bumper I would recommend using some double sided tape, the grill is flexible enough to allow this. Also please check that the bumper has all of the foam bracing that is designed to support the bumper and avoid any sagging.

Then I would suggest removing the top tabs and shifting the grill slightly from front to back and side to side, the grill is only PRE drilled, and will allow for further adjustments to obtain a proper fit.

If you need any more help or tips please don't hesitate to PM me.

Thanks!

******* PM sent BTW.*******

I'm not really blaming you on the fitment issues at first I thought it was the bumpers fault. Sorry for not PMing you first, I'll try your advice first thing tomorrow morning.

I can clearly see that the taes are not in on the bottom, does this grill not have the tabs across the bottom like the oem one does?
