Notorious My bumper is wonky. Is this gap supposed to be this big?

My bumper touches the body, and sometimes tucks under it, or the body gets stuck under it. In photos of new Noto's, there's a small gap between the bumper and body. Is this just wear?

The bumper is also angled back quite a bit. Same deal, is this just wear that occurs over time?

If I'd put spacers between the circled parts, the bumper would be pushed straight again. Does the top view look good, or am I missing spacers?

Not sure as I replaced mine with an RPM bumper from the start. I say just order one of those and call it a day! 👍😁

Do you guys think this is an ignorable issue, or should I replace it to prevent damage to other parts? From what I've heard, the Noto's bumper isn't very effective anyway bc of its position.

I'd replace it to prevent further damage. Sure, you could still run it like it us, but I'd get a new bumper, any kind that's been suggested, and move on to the next repair. 👍
 
I love those rpm front bumpers. I have 2 of em now & the one that's on the typhotank gets A LOT of abuse off the ramp. It can take the nastiest cartwheels & front lawn darts. It almost has a little trampoline effect to spring the rear end back around!!
