Hopefully somebody has a suggestion for this issue. Here goes -
I purchased fiberglass bumpers for my 86 GN a couple years ago just to lighten the car and personally I think they look better than the stock bumpers. I purchased them from Kirbans. The back bumper looks excellent. However, the front bumper seemed defective in its design. On my front bumper the small tabs that the marker lights get screwed into are too far forward which cause the parking light bezels to seat forward about 1/4" away from the bumper. The gap is easily noticed and has been an eye sore ever since I installed the bumper.
I called Kirbans to see if it was possible that my front bumper may have been a fluke and they took the time to install a parking light and bezel on one of their bumpers on shelf. They too validated that the bezel around the parking light does not seat flush and sticks out.
I can't possibly be the only one that has been bothered by the look of this defect. So I'm curious if anyone that actually cares about achieving the proper appearance for their front fiberglass bumper found a solution or modification to correct the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
