This looked like it was going to happen to me, so I installed a license plate screw to hold it in place.

I would rather not ride with a front plate, but I clearly cannot use the bumper plugs. What's the solution? Do you have to remove the bumper?

Pic of the gap. Any possibility if I removed the bumper, I can correct the gap.

Thats a normal gap there, mine has it too. I believe there is a plastic grommet in there that keeps the gap there where the bumper is bolted to car. If you remove the grommet, the bumper will not attach as solid and you will probably have paint rub off due to it rubbing against the front fender along the seam.

Interesting. The other side looks tighter (with less gap). Maybe I have too much free time .

This same crap happened to me and it was not hard to remove. Yes, you will have to pull hard on the bumper.
