Front Bumper Gap?

Any one else have front bumper gap between the bumper and where it meets the fenders by the head lights? I've taken the bumper off and put it back on to see if I could fix it but still there's a pretty good quarter inch gap between the two. I want the bumper to sit flush with the fenders. Anyone else have this issue or if you did how did you fix it?

I believe there is a TSB to replace the mounting clips for the gap issue. It should be listed somewhere on this forum. I remember seeing it because my BRZ suffers from the same issue, I just haven't taken it in to get it fixed.

I'm missing a few of those Phillips head push pins that go by the wheel well, will there be a problem with having that fixed if I'm missing those? Also, is it possible to order replacements online because I can't find them anywhere.

Several of the inside fender lining push pins are left out from the factory, at least that's what the collective forum discussions have assessed. You can buy them in any autozone or on amazon/eBay. I just bought some at Autozone. I don't remember the size I bought though... :-( maybe some else can chime in...
