Everything was fine other than two out of the 3 bolts were so loose I could move them with my hand. Problem is, I didn't loosen both sides to adjust and there's still 3/8"difference between the two. I may another day work on it again but as for now I feel a lot better about it.
That's good to hear. You probably just need to loosen the high side and bring it down a hair. Let us know if you need measurements of factory spacing.

I have roughly 1.25" from the upper valance to the bumper, using the lower grill opening sides since they made pretty handy vertical reference points.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I have the same measurements at these points. Could you measure the gap using the front sensor furthest to the outside. I'm getting 1" on the driver's side and 1.25 on the passenger side using the top of the fog light bezel b

I have 1.5" to the top of the inner foglight C. Looks like your DS matches mine.

looks like you're correct. The side that I did not adjust needs to be lowered roughly a 1/4". Evidentially the passenger side being so low and loose was pushing up the drive side. Thank you!

Thank you, as well. This is good info for the light bar I'm working on. I haven't gotten to loosening all 4 bolts yet, and now I know and have reference photos!
