Default Front side panel

Six months or so ago my wife wrecked my 99 accord. Totally jacked up the front end, everything around the engine was cocked to the right.(frame I mean) I noticed the other day that the front right panel isn't lined up correctly. Is that something I can fix by loosening bolts and adjusting or does it need to go to a body shop. I've noticed other stuff like the right front door closing fine but the top corner sticks out a little and the hood is a little off. Guess I should have looked at this stuff a little harder 6 months ago when the body work was under warranty. Another lesson learned. thanks for any help.

Take it to the shop. I had similar problem and I let it slide. What will happen is, slowly as you drive and brake, the panel will shift back and one day, when you leat expect it, you open the card dooor, it will hook into the panel and you will bent the panel.

Well, if your frame is bent, you need to have a shop straighten it. Nothing will line up correctly until you do this.
