You gotta post some pics?

Did you use the old header panel and zip tye back your grille?

You should just be using the 05 brackets for the bumper. It should all line up. Are you talking about the upper valence on the bumper not lining up with the fender. I think some of those valences..or maybe all of them were made to have the small fender trim (the type on the HD's and lariats) on the fenders to smooth out the transition... I looked into getting those but they are almost 700 bucks...
