So... to make a long story long,

when I bought this car (1974), you could tell it had had a 5-10MPH bump to front end. bumper pad is touching fenders with a little ripple, paint cracked inside trunk where center pads contact, but you have to be within a couple of feet to see it.

So I go to put on the LE spoiler I got (thanks to Wayne Type47fan) and bumper is too tight to body. I pulled off the bumper last night and I have to guess it was pushed in ` 1/16" to
thanks

Well of course your are, you have a 914 don't you.

You could space it out, orrrrrrrr you could pull out the mounting area a little. Depends on how bad it is? I bought a Moe clamp and pulled mine out with a come-a-long, tree stump and then even taking my Wifes Jeep with a chain and giving the mount area little "Jerks". Amazingly, I didn't destroy anything and a bumper mounts perfectly. All just depends on how much work you want to do.

Root Werks comment about the jeep reminds me of the short video someone put on the site last year where the kids are trying to pull a slammed honda out of a snow bank, and they end up ripping the entire front end off the car! so funny i almost #$%$#my pants.


back on topic,

I would have shimmed the dog bone's out with washers and see if that fits, so long as you have enought screw left to tighten it back on properly.
