here are the pic, sorry the car is dirty from all the salt. please help me with adjusting it, i already tried using a dremel to make the holes a little bigger so i can adjust but it didnt help. how is the fitment usually with these grills??????????
now i have a new problem, the bottom of the grill towards the passenger side doesnt have a good fit with the bumper. the hood is fine, its the grill and the bumper that doesnt have good fit.

i also think that the bumper might be the problem since i got the car it had an aftermarket kit on and the original owner kept the original bumpers in his closet and maybe got out of shape, thats why there is also a little gap where the hood and the bumper meets, ill post more pictures once i clean the car,

the gap at the bottom does not look too bad. A lot of other grilles (incl. big names) have comparable gaps.
The L-tuned grille was produced in mass volumes, not handmade like most fiberglass grilles, so fitment should be well controlled.

I checked other cars w/ L-tuned grill and that gap seems like the norm. Mine is like that..
I think some of the grills came w/ 2 small rubber bumper on the bottom like the stock grill has ( Mine did not have the rubber bumper.
Some bumpers do come up just alittle higher but not much.
You can see in the pic ( not a very good pic but you get the idea)

yea i also think it hangs low but i cant do anything about it, the original owner had an aftermarket kit on and had the original bumpers in his closet and i guess it got out of shape. i had dave install them and he did a pretty good job but i still think the bumper are the main reason.
