I've made a mistake, and I'm hoping that someone here can help me to fix it. I installed my AEM intake a while back, as well as the RB screens. That went well. Shortly after that, I noticed that the gap between the nose (front bumper) and the hood is uneven, with the driver's side a little farther down. I took the nose off and re-tightened everything, but the gap persists. Is there anything special you have to do to get it level, or am I just crazy for noticing a 1/4" difference in space? I'm going to take the nose off again tomorrow so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Loosen all of the 8mm bolts under the lip, the four 10mm under the air-diverter and the two 8mm screws at the back of the marker lights.
Once all of the tension is off of the bumper cover, you can shift it around until the alignment is right.
Tighten the 4 10mm bolts last - they set the gap.
If you find that one part of the gap is higher (not wider) than the other side, you can loosen the 10mm nuts along the weather strip on the upper edge of the bumper cover and move the edge up or down vertically.
