Default Aligning front end of a 96-00 civic....couple questions

I just had my 1996 Honda Civic CX hatchback painted and I had everything painted seperatly. I was just wondering in what order should I reassemble the front end? This is how I was going to do it fenders, headlights, front bumper then hood, is this correct? Also how much of a gap should there be between the fenders and the doors, and how about the hood and the fenders, where would I find the specs? Thanks!

i'd say headlights, fenders, bumper and hood last. The gaps should just be even with the rest of the car (doors and such).

headlights, hood, fenders, bumper/grill.

The headlights are the center points put them on loosly.
You need the hood on in order to check clearance with the headlights and fenders.

The bumper only has to match up with the fenders and lights.
