My front bumper has a larger gap on the passenger side than the driver side that I would like to correct....can't stand the way it looks. Can anybody explain to me what I am getting into fixing this myself??? How hard is it?? How long will it take, etc...???
Thanks.

There are a number of brackets that hold the bumper in place. Crawl under there, loosen up some bolts and use a floor jack to get the bumper where you want it, then tighten them down real good.

that wont necessarily do the trick...if its just loose tighten and you'll be good..if it got bent somehow (mine did) you'll need to use a handfull of washers to space it out and play with it till its corrected

Correct, I guess I was just assuming that the bumper was in good condition.

My front bumper was crooked, I thought it was bent, turns out the clips on the top plastic piece were broke on one side and the plastic was just sagging a little.
