Fix front bumper gap?

It seems like my front bumper is sagging a little, kinda makes the front look stupid. Where would you adjust that? I've never had to take the bumper off, so I'm not sure. I figured there might be a quick fix for this

It seems like everyone who has this problem has a front lip..the weight of it must weigh it down after a while

I know if there are two bolts (10 mm Nissan part# [085666205A] SCREW-TAPP) that hold the bumper cover to the fender. I bet they are just loose.

The tabs under the headlights probably came out. I'm not sure if the 5.5 has the tabs but I know my 5th gen does.



i broke mine off when removing the bumper cause it was going to the trash anyway!
