Other than that, LCI really does make the front end look so much more aggressive

When I was tackling the NV LCI Front Grille retrofit I needed to partially remove my front bumper... your front bumper wasn't properly aligned when it was reinstalled, but it's an easy fix.. minor adjustment.

- Open the hood.
- Remove the hood seal strip.
- Remove the black fixing plugs along the front bumper/hood edge by partially lifting up the center pin to unlock it, then pull it up and out.
- Loosen all of the screws along the front bumper/hood edge enough so their washers aren't securing the hood down/in place.
- Position/align the front edge of the left side of front bumper and tighten down the screws to secure the bumper. Do the same for the right side.
- Close the hood, then use your eyes/fingers to check the gap clearance. It should be uniform from left to right, and both far ends shouldn't be pushed down.
- Once the clearance is uniform and looks good, make sure all the screws are in place. Make sure all of the black fixing plugs are re-installed.
- Re-install the hood seal strip, making sure it's properly seated.
- Close it up, all is good in the hood.
