Default align my 00si body..

I was wondering if anyone could help me on how to align my front end up again. or could someone tell me the measurements i need to have my front end square? cause i have my driver side fender gettin closer to the hood as it gets closer to the windsheild then the passanger side fender is the opposite and my driver side body line isn't lined up. the difference isnt major but is noticable enough for me. how can i approach this? and no i dont wanna take it to a body shop and spend 500+ to get it aligned unless the job is to major for me. thanks

I'm not sure what you're asking here... Did you get in an accident or something? Why would your body panels suddenly be out of line?

If you did get into an accident, and you're front end is bent up, you won't be able to fix it yourself without a frame straightening machine.

No, I meant what the panels bolts to (the subframe) could be bent. Take it to a body shop and get an estimate; they will tell you if it is or not. If it's not, just bend them back until it looks good.
