Default Raising the front bumper

I recently bought a ls1 camaro, a big thing about it that pisses me off is the gap between the bumper and the hood is semi-big/noticeable/ugly. What can I do to close the gap? I can lift up on the bumper with my hands but it just falls back down.

If you guys have no clue what I'm talking about I'll take a few pics later on today.

It was never in an accident, if I had to guess he was probably pulling it onto a trailer or something and it fucked it up. Who knows....



If it's not fixable I have a bumper from my v6 in better condition I can put on it.

its hard to tell from the pics, but noticing the gap in the hood and fenders on the front corner makes it look like you just need to adjust your hood down a little?

you can adjust your hood at the hinges and at the rubber bumpstops. its worth a look.

not 100% like i said its hard to tell from the pic.

that's how mine was. I think there's a sticky in the body section explaining how to fix it. I just brought it to a body shop to fix mine. Made it look 1000000x better
