What's wrong with my front bumper and/or hood?

Post by epic_pwn_95 »

I will be replacing the front bumper cover anyways because it has a crack below the right headlight, but does it look like the hood is not closing properly or is lopsided or something?

You will really want to inspect the car carefully when the bumper cover is off. It looks like the front end is tweaked. It should tell the story with the cover off.

Check the Carfax? It sure looks like it was in an accident. I'm in the same situation... you can see mine on the passenger side, the headlight, hood and fender doesn't line up.

Looks to me like its all in the front fascia. The corners of the hood line up the same on each side with the front fenders.
