Default Front end question......

I have a 93 civic coupe that I bought used and the front bumper looks to be pushed back a bit, like it doesnt align with the front of the hood. Can a decent body shop take care of this?

you can do it yourself bro....just find a heatgun, or buy one.....and you should be able to heat up the rear of the bumper and push the plastic out so that it fits to your shape....i did it with my buddie's dented bumper on an eh2 and it came out fine

If the bumper isnt actually bent, then it's a different story. I'm guessing the mounting holes on the bumper were torn. Pop the hood and remove the 4 or 5 screws that are along the top of the bumper. See if the holes are aligned or if they were ripped and moved the position of the bumper. If so, mov it back and tighten the screws, or get a new bumper.
