Aftermarket bumper gap with hood?

I just received my URAS Monkey Magic kit back from the paint shop, and when I was installing it I noticed I have a good half inch gap from the front bumper and hood. Was anyone one else running into this problem? Even if I lift the front bumper to 'tighten' the gap, its still a gap. Is this just something I have to live with?



This is the new bumper




This is the old bumper...




Even this has a gap and its stock....

I have the same thing. Think it's just something to deal with. Sometimes the issue lies when we fit the front bumpers we focus a lot on how it marries up with the front fenders that we don't check the front bonnet area. When I fit mine if I was to have it flush without gap....I would need to cut the bumper area where it contacts the fenders so I could get the bumper pushing back enough to close the gap.
