Default Whats wrong with these fenders?

Ok this is how i got it when i bought it. The fender looks like it sticks out alot. And the fender well plastic peice inside has a gap from the fender to the plastic peice. Is this bent or what? Both sides are like it.

Its a possibilityits not lined up...Your hood looks like its not closed and if it is closed then its definetly not lined up correctly.. The car was probably in a accident before you bought.. If you have more pics that would help out alot... Like the front of the car and the other side..

the hood isnt bolted on it was just laying on the car,and it wasnt latched. everything looks straight on the car. its weird because both of the fenders are exactly the same like that. my brother said they made some like that.

the driver side looks like its bowed out. not normal.

90-93 got "flared" (rolled) fenders from factory to fit the 16's but the bottom molding shouldnt be bowed out like that.

my car hit a curb a couple months back and it bowed the molding like that. my guess it was in a minor crash but nothing really to worry about.

someone could have even heated it up and it flexed while hot.

lots of possibilities.
