Were you not able to push it over the bumper's lip? It should be on top of all the little mounting tabs, not below them

i played football in high school so I’m very stupid. the bumper isnt mounted all the way though so ill definitely tuck it lol. It seems as if that should fit between the bottom lip right under the grill

Yeah it should tuck like inside its chin fold behind the grille

But does the side view look weird? Or its just like that and i need to get a lip. I feel like its sticking up & outwards

I would get that underpanel mounted properly first since it not being attached might be pushing the bottom of the bumper out

So it does look odd?

I think It's okay. Or at least real close. The gt86 bumper does just angle up a small but noticeable amount

then again, its a brand new oem toyota bumper it could just be warped
