1998 Trans Am Bumper Sagging
I have a hideous gap between the hood and the bumper on either side of the headlights as shown in the pic. Its large enough to stick a finger in. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix it. I have completely re-assembled the front end and the only thing that is missing are some of the headlight brackets that connect to the radiator support and the fender. Is it possible that those are causing this?
Would replacing the bumper brackets that are riveted on help or could the bumper cover just be deformed? It also seems like it interferes with the fog lights if I try to shift it to the correct location (forcing it upward).
It really seems like all of the stuff to mount the top of the bracket needs to shift up 2-3 inches, but there is literally no way for that to move that much.

Does anyone have an image looking down the inside of the frame rail for me to compare with. I’m thinking about just getting it straightened and living with it since it’s so minor and the car is mechanically perfect drivetrain wise.
