Default Bull Bar Problems?

I installed a bullbar today on my 97 f150 lariat and after i was done it looked crooked to me so i got out a level and leveled it but it said it was perfect... I played around with the bracket screws for a little while to try and straighten it out but nothing worked. Any ideas of what to do?? Here's a picture...

Looks straight to me too, but it's one of those things that if you look at it longer, it looks slightly off. I get that feeling sometimes with my brushguard, but I think it's an effect all the chrome gives ya. Our "fat lip" bumpers as I call them give that effect too somehow, I'd still take my bumper over the 99-03 ones, no offense to you guys with those years, just my taste.

Looks good man. Just don't stare at it too long lol. I agree with you on the bumper, I lik that year bumper more than mine, thought about finding a used one and swapping out.
