The car may have been hit once upon a time. The entire package of bumpers,
front cross-member, and valences might be twisted
downwards.
Just last week I took apart the front endof my car in preparation for a
paint job. Speaking from experience, you may be surprised at what you
find...
BTW, where can I get one of those nice front license plate surrounds that
fits up against the bumper.? For the entire 20+ years I have owned
my car, the front bumper has been held on by a pair of hardware-store angle
brackets.
