Default help, the front bumper does not look right.

hey guys, somthing is wrong with my front bumper, i just got the car and it looks like the lights are too small for the bumper. and the hood doesnt fit right, theres about 1/4 inch between the hood and the front bumper. go to my image station to see the pictures and possibly let me know what is up? i think it may have been in an accident but how would that make the headlights to small?

hey, well even if it was in an accident, i cant fix that. only the bumper and hood. so I am thinking i will just drive it around for a while and save some money for a 98+ conversion and then have a body shop do it right and hopefully that will fix the problem. but if its somthing i can fix myself or have some1 fix for really cheap then i will just do that. i just thought someone on here might know how to fix this?

the part where the bumper connects to the fender is messed up b/c of a L shaped bracket being bent out of shape i had this problem too just play with it and you'll get it right

there should be VIN tags on the fenders and the bottom of the hood.

a telltale sign of a replaced front bumper is the paint on the lower grill area...it should be seamlessly applied with zero overspray and the cross bars should be black. your hood is missing the rubber gasket too....

that color is not original, so the whole car has been painted. the front bumper looks like it was replaced...all in all it looks okay, you could get it perfect with minimal work.
