Maybe its the pic, but the grill does not look straight along the bottom where it meets the bumper. Looking closer, It appears that your bumber is not straight based on comparing the hood gaps to the bumber between the left and right side.

i dont know how to fix it, i guess it was out of shape when i got it cuz the original owner had a different kit on it and kept the stock one in the closet which made it kind of out of shape. is there anything i can do to get that fixed?

Anything you can do to get the bumper fixed? Yup, a new aftermarket one! Maybe try and realign it, dont tighten all the screws til it is right.

Leave it to ole eagle eye

that's why you thought the grill didn't line up, it's the bumper. seems like maybe it could be tweaked into place better.

EDIT: sorry Rheiy, I see you were on to it too
