    Kidneys

    Hey r3v

    My kidney grills seem a bit off do they look normal to you?

    * note my car was in a small frontal crash and its sorta bothered me ever since it was fixed a few years back

    bumper and fender gaps look just about right from this angle. but it looks like the kidneys and the euro grills are low in the middle. are the clips in on top? other than that I would take the clips out, and reset the kidneys and make sure they are on top of the valance correctly. there are some teeth that the kidneys mount from. yours might not have been set up correctly.

      Lower your hood just a little bit and that should help. Looks a lil high in the front. There are 2 rubber adjusting 'screws' on the core support that raise and lower the hood for alignment.

          bingo!
          on either side of the hood where it meets the fenders, it looks a little too high. lower it there and your kidney's will look right
          If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

            OP: It'll cost thousands to fix.... I'll give you $100 for the whole hot mess and you won't have to let it bother you anymore :)

                  that looks terrible.

                  id part the car if i were you. it would save money.
                  I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.

                        the fenders will line up even more. It's height, not left or right.
