    Replaced my chrome bumpers with black and looks like the left bumper kinda has a gap on the top of it...broke 2 clips so thats what it might be. The other side looks flush its just the left side. What should I do :(

    You’ll have to buy a new bumper pad. Been there, done that myself. If I remember correctly it’s about $150.

    Mine came that way stock because the frame where it mounts has ever so slight variations when they bend the tabs at the factory. Not a big deal given it’s like 1/4” difference and only noticeable to me, but life goes on. You could always add a thick washer where it mounts to increase the gap slightly on one side

    I think you’re referring to the step pad. If so, you might try 3M double-sided tape to hold that side down before springing for a new step pad. That tape’s pretty sticky. You’ll know right away if it’ll work.
