Default Grill and surround adjustment.

How do I raise the grill and surround area on my 7 GTO. The left side sits 1/2 to low as compared to the fender.

How does the lower grill support look? Maybe it is bent downwards on that side. Or possibly the end of the radiator support is bent upwards causing the fended to be a bit high. Or maybe a combo of the two?

You may need to take a look at the radiator core support bushings.

they are new, but will check it I may have to shim it. The only thing that makes me think it is fine is the fender and hood are fine. Just the surround sits low.

You'll just have to get in there and take a look at things in order to figure out where adjustments need to be made.
