hey guys i have a 89 notchback lx when i bought it the previous owner had put the GT ground effects on it and i wanted to go back to factory lx...so when i was putting the lx front bumper on the car last night i noticed the bottom of the bumper and the bottom of the fender didnt line up. but the studs lined up with the holes but still the bumper sticks about an inch further out then the fender. i know the Gt and LX have the same fenders and i know the 87-90 fender is a little different then the 91-93 but i cant figure out why mines like this...any ideas?

ill try to post pics but im new to this forum

Pretty sure the Lx has a moulding that goes there to even it up
