OK so my front fender is a little messed up...It sticks out at the top and i want to know if its fixable or if i have to get a new fender? I think i can bend it back to normal but i don't know. Its not that noticeable but i want to get my car looking decent. Also my drivers side headlight isn't flush like the passengers side headlight when its closed...Is there a way to fix this?Here are some pics: [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] And here are the pics of the headlight [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] i think its because there is supposed to be a bracket behind the light...here is a pic of both sides the one has a bracket the other doesn't... [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

Thanks guys any input will help...Merry Christmas BTW.

You can heat the fender up to twist it lightly if needed. Body shims help fix gaping issues bu shimming them.

Its not too bad so I would let it go for now until you find a good used fender that's the same color already.
