The pics speak for themselves - apparently there was a front end collision, with the bumper, hood and cover replaced or repaired. You can tell because of all the red painted stuff underneath. Someone actually repaired the spot around the foglights, but then cracked again when I moved the car around. I found tape and resin on the inside of the old bumper cover.

Before (This is before all the damage to the GFX around the foglights from moving he car around. The GFX around both fog lights are completely cracked.)






During






and After. Now I need to realign the hood and I have no idea how to do that.

The easiest way to re-align the hood is to try to line up the hindges with the old markings. That is what i did when i had to put the old hood on my GTA b/f the junk man picked it up after the accident. I just used the old marks and the hood lined right up.

If it was/is a new aftermarket hood; you could try to messure the markings on the old hood and transfer those messurements to the new one.

it isn;t hard, it just might take some trial and error until it lines up correctly.
