Hi everybody! Im new here 
I have a question for you guyz and I really need to get an answer to this...
I recently found out there is a gap between the hood and the front bumper, and I think I figured out why.
it was because my front bumper was pushed down a bit which it shouldn't be. (when u see my headlight picture you will understand what im saying)
And I had a front collision back in the day and that's why it has happened.
This is what I think so far.. absolutely my personal opinion...
I want to know the solution! to fix this problem.... guyz please help me
( I think I need to remove bumper and readjust it... maybe push it up a little? do you guyz think that will work?)

Your paint skills are awesome! I seriously love mouse-text, its so hilarious. Anyways, you can lossen the bolts that hold your light fixture in place and then move it down to remove the gap.

Those gaps look normal to me..
Check out my photos on my car I picked up fresh off the boat last month for comparison.

The front bumper does not seem to be aligned. If you notice the gap on the hood, it needs to be fixed / put closer to the hood. If you do that, the headlight gap will fix itself.
You probably have to adjust the brackets / mounts in the middle below the kidney grills. The people probably did not mount the bumper correctly.
Its an easy fix, only thing is that you might have to take apart the whole bumper.
