So I am in the process of building a front bumper. And I was going to do the fit up and I noticed that the unibody brackets are off centered for the rest of the body. Like an inch or so. I have a 96 sport. I was wondering if they are all like that because I have enough material to make a second one and I want to sell it but if they aren't all off I would hate to have that problem. Thanks for the help.

When building a bumper... Do you build the brackets and front off centered a bit and then build the sides to make it look centered? On side longer than the other??

I've built two front bumpers, one for an 88 and the other for an 87. I did not have to accomodate for any offset. Maybe the earlier years did not have it?

Hmmm. It does has some front plastic damage. But I wouldn't think it would move the unibody off that much but keep it straight still. I'm so confused
