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.

^see parts 53808B.. but maybe you can keep using your current one and bend it forward or whatever to fill the gap between the headlight and bumper..
