what the??? bumper fitment question

ok here’s the deal i got a bumper off and jdm 180sx 96 or so non type x.
i took my silvia front end off getting the car ready for winter. my c’est que fuck… is the hood off a 92 doesnt line up with the bumper. there is a big gap and the bumper its self is all the way on but still a 1.5 "gap. but fenders and everything else lines up to a tee
anyone have any ideas before i blow the car up.

Do you have the silvia hood on still? That won’t fit with the 180’s bumper.

I’ve seen alot of JDM 180’s with a bigger gap than USDM ones… maybe its just coincidence? But it could be a factory gap…

^^^ thats what im thinking
its huge!!! no its full 92 usdm front end
it just looks stupid.

sounds like how my bumper is too
