I didn't know where exactly to put this so forgive me.

My front bumper is a little off alignment with the headlights and the front bumper. I was wondering if anybody knows how to fix this problem without going to a body shop.

I'll put a picture on here tomorrow.

thanks

So, here's what I'm working with.







I hope somebody has some suggestions.

Thanks

Isn't that what a car bra is for? nana.gif I'm sorry man.

I've never seen something like that though. Maybe take it to a shop that gives free estimates and see what one of their guys says. If you talk directly to the dirtiest mechanic, he'll normally just be honest with you and if you can fix it yourself, he'll let you know. Thats how it happens in areas where corny bra jokes are made at least.

It looks like it wasn't put on correctly. Normally you put on the center and work towards the sides at least with the rd2 so it fits snug around the lights otherwise if you work on one side and then the other it looks like that. I would try loosening the sides and the middle and then fit the middle again and then tighten up the sides.

Just my .02. Might not help at all though.

redturbulance >>> I'll try that today if I can. Thanks.

JohnnyArmani >>> I'd do that, but the last time I went to a "dirty" wechanic; He not only tried to screw me over, but he took it super personal when I said that I'm going else where to get the job done for less. As funny and sad as it was, it's still annoying. But thanks tho.
