S2000 has an eyesore
 

Can anyone tell me why there is a crease near the front headlights of my s2000? This a 2005 that I purchase 2 months ago. I know the bumper as been repainted but I think they screwed up remounting it. I see a few pictures of others online with very similar crease and I have seen some with cracked paint resulting from it. I see no information on how this area is aligned with the bumper support, anyone have a solution to this problem?

I got bored on Friday night. LOL! The crease bugged me enough to see if I can fix it.

Hey thanks for the response and you're right about the clip area below the lights. My bumper clipped correctly but I did notice that the meta bar with clip was a bit higher and closer to the head light in the creased area. So I loosened the two bolts that held the metal bar and pushed it down almost 1/4 of inch lower and re-tighten the bolts. I then reinstalled the bumper and made sure there were no pressure made on the bumper just below the headlight. Before installing the bumper, I also removed the crease with a heat gun and cooled it down with a wet rag, I repeated this until it was straight again on its own. This adjustment took me about 1-1/2 hour but it made my day as it was my first time removing the bumper!

Nice job! It feels good to accomplish something yourself, right?

Thanks, I hate working on my other cars but I love working on my S2K!
