haha... I guess you don't have instructions then? Yeah, you have to bleed the bumper shocks to get it to fit around the fender lip.

You are still using the bumper frame right? Take off the bumper frame bar from the shocks & you will see one phillips screw on the inside of each shock flange. Take out the screw & push the shock all the way in & put the screw back in. Now you can adjust where the bumper sits.

even when you do as nismopick instructed there might still be gaps around the sides where it meets the fender and wheel well ...even when i pushed back the bumper shocks there was gaps on the sides not the front so i had to mould the dam and the rear bumper to make it nice.

like in this pic front and back the sides...

This is from a 280Z... but same idea. The shock is in the middle (PART# 2.... it should look familiar)

If you take that bumper bar off the shocks (remove the 4 nuts on each side of the shock to bumper mount), you should see square flanges on the ends of the shocks. On the side that touches the bumper bar (the undersize of the flange where the sun don't shine) there should be a screw.

So you just have ths shocks sticking out? Look at the square face of the shock flanges & you will see the bleeder screw.
