Messed up bumper/fender *pic*
Well when I bought my car the front end already looked like this. I figured if I bought a new bumper it would go away. Well turns out it wasent the bumper. You think I need a new fender?
that's a touchy spot on the integras. Even if the car was in a slight accident and the nose shifted a bit, it would be really hard to get just right. I don't think it's your fender that causing that. If it was, you would be able to see it in the fender.
Just make sure your mounting clips and everything else is installed correctly. Other than some serious body work like removing the rad support and what have ya, I don't think there's a simple solution. It's very common. I wouldn't feel too bad about it.

somthings wrong. It looks like it might not be lined up right. There shouldn't be a gap with the bumper and the headlight. Hard to tell by the pic exactly what the prob is. Open the hood and inspect where the fender bolts to the car it could be tweaked. Good Luck
^^^^^ Capptain **** obvious here. LoL jk man but yeah as he said "somethings wrong".
Take off your front bumper and bend the brackets that hold on the fender. Youll know waht im talking about soon as you take off your front bumper, its a long metal peice bolted on right where the bumper and fender meet. PM me if you need any more info.

you can try loosening the bumper and fender and adjusting them but it also looks like the hood is not lining up either. It almost looks like the car was hit on that fender or from that side and somebody may have just replaced the parts and they did not properly line up the parts. If adjusting doesn't work you should propbabley take it to shop. Adding new parts doesn't always fix the problem if there is damage to the parts that connect to the fender and bumper wont line up. i would try adjusting it yourself and then going to a couple of shops to get thier opinions. Also a shot of the whole front end would help to determine if the front end may be crooked.
When you put a new bumper on a teg you often times HAVE to move the fenders around for proper fit. You're going to have to take the bumper off, adjust the fenders, test fit, adjust, etc. You don't need new fenders unless they're all screwed up. This was taught to me by the frame/body guy that fixed my structural damage when I ran the nose of my teg into a ditch at 75mph.
Ok I'm going to mess around with the fenders a bit. Anyone have any pics of where the main fender support is? I really know nothing about body work.

That pic looks odd, almost like either the bumper is too low, or the headlights are too high (looking at the gap between the headlight and the opening in the bumper), but that doesn't make sense, because the headlight and bumper both attach to the same radiator support.
There is a bracket that the front edge of the fender attaches to, but you have to remove the bumper to get to the bolt (it's sandwiched right in between where the bumper and fender mate together).
The best thing to do is to just loosen everything and try to adjust and get it right.
