Default Kbd front bumper not looking right? Any suggestions?

I have t


I Have the darker of the two z’s above, they both have the same kit, but my bumper height is wayyyyy different in height, any suggestions on how to get it looking right, preferably at the same level as the skirts. It could just be a defect bumper but I’ve tried everything to get it lower and am out of ideas

Well, the Z in the second picture is slammed on the ground with likely air suspension, so that's what the front lip is basically scraping the pavement.

Otherwise, probably two different bumpers. Similar, but not identical.

yeah, the bottom one is on bags and is raised up in the pic, same bumpers tho, thinking mine is just shrunken and defective at this point

Your bumper also has front splitter support rods attached and the bottom one does not. You may have installed them in a way that pulls the splitter upwards.

I don't really see any noticeable large gaps in the lines where the bumper meets the fender and hood, so I don't think it's misshaped. That would be one of the obvious signs of a defective or poor fitting front bumper.

Over the last few days, I replaced the Camshaft Position sensors, VCT solenoid, Z-1 high energy coil packs, Mitzone valve covers, NGK plugs, Z-1 plenum spacer, and I painted my upper plenum. My wallet hurts, but it looks a lot better.
