Yes I know the fitment is crooked. I might have been off by a few mm when I drilled the holes for the sidemarker frame. I'm going to have to take off the bumper this weekend and elongate the holes so hopefully fitment will be better.
Is the mounting for the sidemarker part of the bumper or did you reuse the oem metal bracket off the oem bumper. If the mounting is part of the bumper you can cut that off and rivet the oem bracket on and it should fit alot better
Yup Yup Marcus is right. They all come from same place from what ive heard. Well then only option is to just adjust the oem bracket to get it to mount right. You should be able to close the gap up by the fender unless what ever you using to hold the bracket on the the bumper is too thick creating the gap. I install alot of aftermarket parts for our local members. lol
Oh if the fiberglass isnt letting the oem bracket sit right againt the bumper the bracket can be shaved down to fit right. Have had to do it to poly and fiberglass bumpers

New update on the front bumper!
Today I decided to install silver wire mesh to cover the duct openings on the bumper. I got the mesh from gutter conduit at Home Depot ($2 per piece). The mesh is wedged pretty tight between the aluminum frame and the bumper, and is held on by Philips screws I drilled into the frame. Took me about 10 minutes to do the mod. Everything worked out OK
