    Did you mean why??

    Well because the bumper fits on better that way but I mainly did that because when I had the old style bumper.

    You might not but I did a little because it was touching the top of the opening on the bottom, I didn't want it to rub all that plastic over time.

    The condenser line is blocking the light bulb housing?

    Push the A/C line back but be very careful not to break or crimp it.

    You need to trim the headlight . You can push the AC line but risk a leak. Those lines have to sit pretty straight or they will leak.

    What was your work around for this aside from pushing it which might cause a leak?

    I meant the rear of the headlight where the AC line is touching. I didn't have that issue because I deleted my AC system.

    I did that.. After doing the A/C line get closer to the housing after install..Making it even impossible to put the bulb socket.

    How would I be able to get rid of the GAP between the heads and grille? Seems to me that there's a gap on the left headlight and grille.

    i was just about to say why do u have a gap on the one side and no gap on the other side

    no i meant what did u cut ?? but i took a close look at the pics and i noticed that u cut the bottom part of the crash bar which is a good idea since it would make an intercooler fit better in that case

    If you want the grill to fit closer then the headlight has to go in more.
