    My whole front end is disjointed...





    I need to get some better pictures of the front as a whole, but it looks like the fenders are pushed out a bit from the hood, the hood is sitting too far towards the windshield and the headlight grill/bezel thing is sitting out too far.

    Anyone have any ideas on where to start?

    I would check the bolts on the hood and on the top of the fenders to see if there are any "halos" or shiny metal showing there was movement on the sheetmetal. It may be possible to realign or adjust if there is no unibody damage but with two pics it's difficult to tell what exactly is going on. I can't remember how much adjustment the hood has. How are the gaps where the fenders meet the doors? Any rubbing when the doors are opened?

    Good luck!

        it can also be someone remove the fender and didn't realign it properly. Since, there is wiggle room on each mounting hole.

          Ok, here are some more complete pictures. I know the right fender will wind up getting replaced anyway because of the small dents near the headlight.

          Now I just feel like I am posting pics for the hell of it. Ha!

              Funny you say that. The last and second to last picture sure looks like it has a hump in it, doesn't it?

              Couldn't hurt to get all new fenders and hood I suppose.

              Thanks for the looks guys.

                you could work that hood back out. I've done it before with my hands
