nice upgrade, but wait, the new bumper that u have on, did u swap out the headlights brackets too?
how about the bottom cover spot on the new bumper?

There is an inch to inch and a half gap. When I was at the dealer checking the cars they did not have a gap at all which is weird. I checked the part numbers for the intake ducts and they are the same as the current model. So I don't know how to solve the problem. Doesn't effect fitament. Everything else pretty much Lined up nice and tight.
