Default door gap

I have about a half inch of door gap between the front fenders and the front of each door. The doors shut fine. Does anybody have any ideas as to why the fenders would be sticking out farther than the door. Much less equally on both sides?

Pics coming soon

Yup. It's from jacking the car on the unibody rail underneath the fender. Not a good idea. Learn to live with it unless you feel like paying a body shop to fix it.

If you are talking about fender sticking out wider the the doors(run your hand across the door a toward the fender and it sticks out)someone may have jacked the car up at the bottom of the fenders instead of the sub frame and bent the lip inturn pushing the fender out.

any idea how much it would cost for a body shop to do it? because it drives me absolutely insane. just a range would suffice.
