M-tech bumper gap

I think there is a noticeable gap between bumper and hood, I have seen other pics and there is no gap, can anyone help figure out how to fix this?
(sorry for dirty bumper)

there should be two black adjustable rubber "hood stops" that can be adjusted by hand.

OR
You can adjust it by turning in the two latches on the hood. You have to remove 1 screw and a plastic cover and then you can adjust the latch.

Quite possibly. It's really a trial and error thing. My hood gap was uneven, adjusting the hood stops did it for me. First you should see if the side of the hood is flush with your fender, mine was a bit off on the right side. Another option you can try is unscrewing the 4 screws on the top of the bumper and lift the bumper up a little and screw it back in while lifting the bumper and see if that helps.

yea first check if the hood is level with fenders, if yes then check if the hood and bumper are equal and neither sticks out more than the other and neither is pushed back. if all that is good, then u can unscrew the top 4 bumper bolts and add washers under the bumper and screw bolts in and alight the bumper so it won't stick out or be too far in. but the washers might be something that'll help you reach that tight gap
