My front bumper beam had some damage, so I decided to replace it. I figured a new one would hold up and protect everything better in any future accidents and I picked up a replacement for only $50.
Unfortunately, it seems like the brackets that mount to the car are about 3/8" too close together. I'm trying to figure out if I cheaped out too much on the replacement and it was incorrectly made, or if something else is amiss.
If anyone happens to have their front bumper cover off or is bored, I'm looking for one or two measurements (shown in the images attached).
