Nice fix I will have to try this

Makes sense. I have lowered my bump stops and it did not help. My pass side sits about 3/16 higher than the drivers so I will try a larger spacer on that side.

what I used...
I used plastic spacers, from Lowes, as well as longer bolts and a fender washer under the bolt head. I re-used the pushpins, but didn't seat them all the way. Cut the gap by about 2/3....

i removed the push pins...re used the same bolts, and put approx 6 washers from advance auto parts that would fit around the current bolts.....im kinda against rigging as such...but it closed the gap enough for people to stop asking me what body shop i took my car to....ugh.. horrible design.
I actually placed something under the bumper nose that lifted it up to where I should be. And loosened and tightened the top bolts to abjust the nose lift. No strain on the plastic where the bolts would hold the weight of the nose....Nose gap no more. Did it about a year and half ago. Actually had forgotten about it.
