Yikes! I had a gap not nearly as bad but on the same side as yours, too. I had to take off the bumper and realign it again... PITA

Yea, I was going to sell my HID fogs and while I was at it might as well fix the gap with it. I had 2 other people holding the bumper in place so it was a little bit easier.

I have gaps like those, not as big, after I had an accident and the front bumper had to be replaced. It was brought to a certified toyota lexus dealership and they said it was impossible to get it straight again. Did anyone else know that it's true or they were just bsing me so they didn't have to spend extra time fiddling with it.

How many dips have you hit......That should be the answer to your question.
