some a-hole hit my car while it was parked in the city. the bumper is only a bit scratched up, but looks displaced. there is a gap between the headlights and the bumper now. can this be fixed and what kind of damage does this cause? does this mean that when i get my body kit the new bumper will also look out of place. by the way i also had the same thing happen to my rear bumper.

 

It all depends, did it get hit really hard or is it just that the bumper is cocked a bit? I would take it off and put it back on to be sure. If the unibody is bent, the new front bumper will fit funny too. Take off the front bumper and see if there's any streach marks or obvious flaws to it.

 

yeh I've made some nice gaps giving little love taps to stuff on the road here and there. the back can get bent where it connects to the fender. it'll probably never be perfect again.

 

I had the same problem when I installed my new headlights. I brought it to the shop because it was sagging a little. They put it on a lift, stuck a huge metal piece up there to hold it up and bolted it back on. It looks better than it did before.
