So at some point in the cars history, the front bumper took a little push... as you can see the drivers side (pass side is fine) bumper mount on the rad support was pushed in a little and angled down a bit....
this has been about the past 6 years I've had it apart... getting to point of re-assemble, so I pulled the front absorbers off today and I'm assuming the front part that bolts to the fiberglass inner part the bumper cover goes over shouldn't be on an angle like that in the pics... so looks like I need to source (2) used absorbers (anyone have a set the want to sell) .
I can't pull that part of the rad support out, but I was able to bend up the mount face to kinda make it more level (2nd pic, block of wood and hit with 3lb hammer)... so my thought is since it's back a little 1/2"-1" I can just get longer bolts and make some spacers (to fit between the absorber mount and that mount) to make the absourbers stick out the same. The bumper looked fine before I took car apart.. so I guess since the outer cover just kinds goes over it it, there is some wiggle room on fitment, but I want to get it close to normal as possible. This sound alike a plan
