So here it is. I either want to be convinced it is possible to fix my frame damage on my car, or that it would be best to just get my hands on a shell and swap things over. Which ever is less timely and costly if you catch me. Nothing is consistent. I take apart my bumper and such, and when I put it all back, my headlights or bumper to hood is off. I have done this plenty of times and can do it very quickly, and possibly in my sleep, but each time, nothing right. I have only got it in the closest to perfect 1 time, and was afraid of it nothing being right when I did it the last time after resealing my projectors. Well guess what? I now have a small gap from my LH projector to the hood, in addition to my slight problem with the gap from the bottom of the projector (very noticeably) to near where the bumper connects to the fender. I want to paint my car red eventually, but if I do another color other than black, it is going to stand out way more.

Can anyone tell me what to do? Should I just get another car? If when I order a front clip, can I just cut the frame and weld that front clip on? Get a new shell and work from there? I am lost.

i wouldnt worry about a little gap unless your SUPER particular about it...unless its a huge gap...if your rad. support is bent its not biggie..that can be fixed for little to nothing...i highly doubt your frame is bent unless you crashed your car recently....try re-aligning your hood and fender as well...its possiabl that they could have came loose and shifted a bit...i know when i took my hood and fender off it took a couple trys to get them re-aligned perfectly again but i got it....time and patience is your friend...post up some pics of the gap, your rad. support, and the frame from underneath the front of the car...i'll be able to tell you exactly where your problem is after that...dont panic bro its no big deal
