I got a weird problem. I think it's either the hood, the bumper, or the piece that the bumper bolts onto. There is a rather large gap between the top of the bumper and the hood, I mean like close to a full inch, and that's with the hood 'appearing' flush with the fenders. On my headlights, the rightside headlight doesn't flush out with the rest of the bumper, while the left side light does. Any ideas? If pictures are needed, I can snap some, but I am lazy and it's dark.

Ok, here are some pictures of the misaligned work. I fixed the light misalignment, that was due to the screwed up mounting bracket, except for the rather large gap between fender and headlight, which I show in a pic. Now I just think either the bumper or the hood is screwy, or possibly the fenders?

yeah that alignment looks pretty bad. I have a gap where my bumper meets the hood also but thats due to me changing fronts. U should probably take the whole frontend apart and reinstall everything yourself. Were u in a wreck that messed up your radiator support?
Your car has obviously been wrecked.
The first pic, that whole edge near the light is bondo.. You can tell by the curvature, also by the dull appearance of the paint. By the looks of it there is a lot of bondo.
The second & third pics the panels almost look a different color. It may be the light though. Try turning your hood adjusters down under the hood on the radiator support. Shit could be tweaked though. My Civic is the same way. Hood looks like it may have some body work too.
That isn't paint flaking off the bumper in the 3rd pic is it?
Yea, it had a mild front end wreck, already knew about that, hence the tittle body 'work' , and that's what I was about to get to. I was wondering what could be off to cause that large of a gap? I lowered the hood, but when I do, the hood is no longer flush with the fenders, bleh. I was going to completely redo the body at some point, when I got a kit and ready for paint or so. As for the bondo, as far as I know, there is no bondo. The bumper and damaged fender was completely replaced, not sure about the hood, but if you look at the underside, it looks like it was replaced also. From what /I/ could tell, the radiator support looked right, but I'm no body man. Yea, that's paint coming off, but that's from, well, that's a long, different story. The paint is dull because of the fact that it's a shitty paint job all together and is getting repainted as a christmas present to me.

Aight, cool, I just wasn't sure if it would be as simply as realigning everything. Thanks.
