99 spec front bumper and Greddy 3 row

I installed my Greddy 3 row and my bumper isn't lining up correctly anymore. The bumper sits low on the passenger side and high on the driver side. When I say high and low I am referring to the way it matches up to the headlights.

Any thoughts or suggestions.

thanks..

The bumper is sitting lower because the intercooler is pushing it out. That's a really thick intercooler. I had to trim my stock bumper a lot when I installed mine.

Trim the inside of your bumper where it hits the intercooler, small pieces at a time. Use a jig saw. Don't worry, it cuts smooth.
