It looks good man.....but what exactly did you do?

The bumper looks to be on correctly but the passenger side headlight does not appear to be lined up right.

That may be your problem. All the lines of the bumper appear to be in good shape but the light sits very high next to the nostril. It looks like it starts off in a good spot near the side marker light and then slowly rises to were it almost hits the hood by the nostril.

Good luck and it looks good.

looks good! it makes such a big difference. when i put my bumper back on i had someone hold it. it seemed to go on just fine for me.

it seems that my steel bumper is bent......or atleast the little bars that stick into the car are

^^ I was just going to start a reply about the the bumper before I even read your last post. I believe that's why i have horrible bumper sag, thinking that it was the little 15mph trailer-hitch tap that I did which caused the studs to bend in a manner where they are no longer perpendicular to the bumper bar they protrude from. Look on the bright side though, yours looks so much better than mine. A body shop I took the car to suggested removing the bumper cover, but leaving the bar itself on the car (btw, can this be done on our Preludes?), then placing a jack underneath it with a wooden block in between, or two jacks (one under each side around where the studs are) and jacking the the car up by the bumper. I thought about it, but I'm holding out on a bumper bar that trident has.

i thought about the jacking thing the other day. of course this did not occur to me until AFTER i put the bumper back on. i do think that the little bars are a little bent. imma take a trip to the body shop and compain again (they told me it was perfect last time) and maybe they will follow their "lifetime guarantee"
