just a few cosmetic things that are really bothering me

1-the front bumper cover is hanging on the bottom.........its been like this since i got it, but i replaced the black "splash guard"...........this piece:


which had the attaching holes ripped out and was hanging, while the bumper hung down. now that piece is sagging again, and the holes are starting to rip. its about 3 inches lower than where it should be; the shape is contoured for the radiator and some drain tube, but its a few inches lower and is sagging. pics:











next, the hood seems lower on one side; maybe its just me, doesn't seem like it lines up perfectly. you judge:



the headlights have little spidercracks in them:



and finally, the rear bumper.


i was rear ended, and the ****ty bodyshop (WORLD FORD OF PEMBROKE PINES, THATS RIGHT **** YOU WORLD FORD) put the rear bumper cover on, and its not flush. they refused to fix it (this was 2 years ago)............these pictures dont' show it, but here anyway




and here i pushed it to where it should be.....doesn't look like a huge difference in the pics, i'll get a better angle that shows it better










advice??

 

The hood issue can be fixed if you just move the stopper on that side up maybe 1-2 turns. As for the bumper that seems normal to me al of the ones I have seen aso have that gap... the headlights I don't know why they would have spiercracks but that is not normal

 

interesting advice about the hood, i will try that, thank you.........the headlights i'm probably just going to replace, they're like 30 bucks each.


any idea about the front bumper?

 

My rear bumper on the right side does that. It's been like that since I bought it. My car has never been wrecked either.

 

I just noticed the other day that my rear bumper does that too. Huh.

 

I know there is something you can use to polish those headlights with.. hmm.. can't remember. but that would save you some money..

I also joined the boomtube crew.. just haven't edited my sig yet...

BUMP

PASCAL!!! look at this thred

 

my rear bumper looks the same as that, and i had the same problem with the splash guard but i replaced it as you did and havent had any trouble since

 

what attachment points did you use? just the radiator support and the bumper? was the bumper cover torn up at all on the bottom?

 

I've got the spider cracks starting in my fogs. So far my headlights are OK. You don't notice it too much unless you're looking. Thankfully mine is not a show car. From 5 feet away you'll never see them.
