Fender help!!!
 
So idk what happened, but a while back, I noticed this and it didn't really bother me until now. Does anyone have any idea what happened? Is there a loose bolt under there or something?

And also, how hard is it to realign a fender? It's just a matter of taking it off and putting it back on right? How hard, on a scale of 1-10 for a guy that does all slip on mods (exhaust, coilovers, swaybars, etc) in his garage, is it?

It looks like someone pressed on it :dunno:

You're in luck... fender alignment is easy, and plenty of people have done it before. I suggest finding a friend to help you out. You will only have to loosen the bolts and then retighten them when all of your gaps look good. It does take some attention to detail, so if that's not your game - you may want to take it to a body shop (but that will be a cheap job (maybe $100)

oh good hahah. how bout that part of the fender that's sticking up pass the hood? is there a bolt there or something? i'm pretty sure it's not the hood.

if it's not the hood sitting too low, that part of the fender probably got pulled somehow. its very easy to stress our fender. try forcing it back down, or you may have to take off the fender to bend that part back into alignment.

fender alignment in itself does not have much play. there are 7 or so bolts all around (forget exact count) and it fits snug into alignment. you can stress certain sections to fix gaps (such as those with aftermarket hoods), but stock should be slip-on/bolt-up.
