i am trying to do the knight rider conversion but i found out today my whole front nose is aligned bad. i live in bay shore,long island ... is there anyone that can help me try and realign my front nose because to get it done by a body shop is going to cost me over 3 grand. i would really appreciate it. |

Did I see you in South Ozone park last week, or two weeks ago? I was riding shotty in my Supra if it was you. If so, I think its a flaw with the casting of the bumper. It looked to be one of the lesser quality ones on the market. |

Can't tell shit from that lol, here is what u do, take a tape measure and pick a front bolt on the fender and a back bolt on the opposite fender, measure the distance and switch and measure the other side, it's a two person job, pretty much imagine a x in your engine bay with the bolts being the ends of the x, measure and they should be close within half inch due to anything the tape is leaning against. I it's close the nose is square, it's the shitty bumper and look around for kinks and bends and signs of an accident |

maybe the bolt holes on the bumpers shot and its just kinda saggin. This body shop guy used my nose to lift my car a lil once and it made it stretch off the body a lil which made me realize the thread holes on my bumper were stretched and broken but it still held on there fine just a lil low but unnoticable. |
