How can i align my freaking corners and headlights (5th gen civics) *pic*
It really bothers me a lot that my corners don't line up, i bought the car like that and i don't understand. The car has never been in any serious accidents, just a fender bender from the previous owner. Anyway i am sure there must be a way to fix this!!!!!!!! It's annoying as hell. The right corner is the one that REALLY needs help.

Re: How can i align my freaking corners and headlights (Jawad)
Yeah, it happen to me as well, it doesn't line up right, my suggestion is to take out the front bumper and head light then glue them or use something to stick them together, kinda like make them into one piece and put them back then screw them really tight

The right corner is ridiculous. I even took the metal part that's attached to the headlight where the corner slides on to it. I used a waser to make the corner somehow align, nothing works, ****.

Re: How can i align my freaking corners and headlights (screamincivik)
You know how to remove the corner lights? If you don't, they just slide out on a track....take them out, and they should have 2 prongs on the backsides that fit into holes in the fender. Make sure those are lining up, and if they are, then see if they are causing the problem. I know I had to shave one off so my clear corners would fit. Hope this helps.

Re: How can i align my freaking corners and headlights (gleinz)
It looks like your corners are solid orange. Like the other guy said there are those two sticks that slide into the fender. If that doesn't work then maybe that fender bender wasn't just a fender bender. That is a really nice background. Where did you take the picture at?

Re: How can i align my freaking corners and headlights (Halo)
Any sort of aftermarket clear corners are going to be off a little. I had the same problem in my CRX and in my current 5th Gen Civic. It had clear corners on it when i bought it. I want to either go to stock corners or some similar to yours. But you never can know with those aftermarket pieces. I haven't been able to correct the problem yet.

Re: How can i align my freaking corners and headlights (Siturbohybrid)
the entire front bumper is screwed up on my car. It was a black bumper i bought intially, not painted on but the one with the little bumps, my body shop warned me that paint doesn't stick well to it, but the body shop itself is a piece of ****. The shaved licence plate holes look like *** 
The lip is now broken because i let a friend drive the car, he went down a driveway and he hit the lip really hard, it rode up my bumper and chipped all that paint. ( i will get it repainted as soon as i can because there are more chips, also the bumper is so crap that it doesn't fit properly, time to buy a OEM bumper. And i broke the lip not too long ago because of stupid construction

Aren't they supposed to primer the bumper before they paint it?
Because to me it doesn't look primered at all...

Re: How can i align my freaking corners and headlights (MaRkO)
Not necessarily, well i think they should have primered but they didn't. I am telling you, i kind of got screwed over, it wsa a good deal but a **** job, the rest of the car is fine, just the damn bumper. You get what you pay for

There is obvious that there's no flex additive in the paint on the bumper....obviously the reason it was cheap.
