Front bumper sagging where it meets headlight?
Has anyone noticed their FRS/BRZ front bumper sagging a bit where it meets the fender/rear of the headlight? I know there are a few threads on this part of the bumper 'popping' outward, but mine just feels like it's sagging downward a bit such that the slots for the tabs are slightly visible at certain angles (big no-no for OCD). Driver side is slightly more severe than passenger.
It sags a bit more toward front of car (away from side marker). Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

From what i understand it's just the nature of these cars...there's no official fix as no one knows whats actually causing the problem...

The clips holding the bumper in just under the headlights are warping causing the bumper to sag some and give a partial gap where it meets the each side as well.

I assume you are OCD about this? Because it personally doesn't bother me, its not like someone is going to walk by and say "hey that guys bumper sags 1.43mm on the side nearest the headlight."

Better to have it documented now than later when it's 1.43cm and out of warranty. |
