Shims on front clip I'm currently in the process of swapping the front clip of my 1997 Trans Am to a 98 Formula front. I have all the pieces needed that I got from my old 98 Firebird before I sold it for parts. The problem is I dismantled the 98 3+ years ago and do not remember where the shims go to line the panels properly. There are 4 shims total, anyone have a clue?

Shims are car and body panel specific. Add/remove shims to get the body gaps straight/lined up; there's no "set" amount or thickness of shims needed.
