Here is a write up on how I fixed the gap between the bumper and the hood.

This is a very easy to fix, I should have done this a lot sooner. Sorry, I don't have pictures, next time I get a chance I will take some and add them to the write up.

Tools: 10mm Socket & Ratchet, Drill, 1/16" and 5/16" drill bits, Small block of wood.

1) Remove the four 10mm bolts that hold the aluminum bumper support to the front cross member.

2) The holes are slotted right-left, not front to back like you need them to be. So drill a small (1/16") hole in front of the slotted hole, then drill that hole out with the 5/16" drill bit. Basically, you want to make the hole a "T" shape. (Be sure to put a block of wood or something comprable under the hole while drilling, you don't want to drill holes in you cross member)

3) Insert bolts into holes and adjust the bumper to eliminate the gap. This took a few different tries to get it perfect.
(also you might have to bend the aluminum support down a little to help it line up better)

All and all it was pretty simple to fix the gap.

This doesn't adress the warping witch I still might try to fix later.

Thanks for the write up. It makes sense, I just never thought of it. I'll probably give that a shot someday when I have time. I'll post a follow-up if and when I do.

Thanks for the write up. I see a lot of cars that have that gap. Most notably is Nocab's car. I have the same feed replica bumper waiting to be installed and wanted to know so I could avoid this problem. I actually have the gap right now as my urethane bumper has started to sag since I removed the front support to put in the FMIC.
