Hey,
There is something wrong with my front bumper, hood, headlights or something... it dosent line up like it should. any insight would be awesome.

haha and yes, my hood is closed.

From this angle... It looks like your bumper isn't closing correctly... Any chance of getting pictures from further away or some profile pics?


Nice car BTW!!

did you recently remove your bumper for anything?

I dont have any other shots of it at the moment (my camera is in the process of gettin fixed) but i havent taken the bumper off or anything like that, thats just how i got it, and at some angles, it makes the car look mean, but other angles it makes it look crappy...

Do you think it could be that the bumper isnt on correctly? because when i look inside the hood at the body seams and all that jazz it all looks right...

and your car is pretty snazzy too.

thanks for the help guys!

stock headlights or replaced?

if the headlights were replaced, they may be mounted incorrectly thus making the bumper sit improperly

Hey DMez, as far as i know, they are stock, but i think i want to order some new ones because i broke my adjustment screw on my driver side light, so it points at the ground (unless you fix it with duck tape, like me!) but once i order and get the new ones, im gunna take it all apart and see if i can fix it... any suggestions on the headlights? my windows are tinted and my cars white so i think i wanna go with somethin black, not the lens, but the background.
Thanks guys,

Greg

You need to get your fram done.My car had the same thing and i pulled the fram up by like an inch and it look good now.That how it looks now.

Considering your lights match your bumper. Im gonna say the bumper is ok. If its the frame, then your in trouble.

When you open the hood, along the fenders there are 4 bolts running each side. Its possible these arent lined correctly and your fenders are a little high, causing your hood to close on the fender line. Its possible for the fenders to seem pretty in line with the rest of the car but be a little high.

Worth a shot. Id hate for this to be a frame issue. yikes.

Check to be sure the car has never been wrecked first off other than that these cars dont have hood adjusters to raise and lower the hood so Im not sure there.

looking at the first pic it looks like something is bent or broke, considering that the radiator support is all one peice that may be the culprit because the driver side headlight looks tipped, (the inside lower corner) id check the radiator support for damage

check the rubber bump stops

if u got it that way i would say there is a pretty good chance the car has been wrecked.
