is this an easy fix?
 

Someone decided to "TAP" my car when i was parked..

Not really noticeable from far, but hood/fender/bumper/headlight are all not aligned properly now. :mad0260: but yeah as you can see theres a big gap from fender to hood, fender to bumper, and right headlight beam is pointing a little down now :(

there's also that little (bulge/bump/lump) whatever you call it) on the fender, maybe due to the force of getting hit..

is this an easy fix?? can anyone help me? any advice on how i can fix? or a cheap alternative to get it fixed? or affordable shop?

ouch. Do you not have insurance, or just don't want to file a claim? I would take it to a body shop and ask them if there is a cheap recommended fix. Tell them you don't want to file a claim and see what they suggest. It might just be a few minutes of their time to "pop" things back into place and a little touch up paint to get it 80% good, as opposed to the usual hundreds of dollars to perfectly repair any little hit these days. I'm no adjuster or body repair guy but I could totally imagine the possibility they'll say you need a whole new bumper or something else crazy if you actually let insurance pay for it.

I do have insurance, just don't wanna claim just yet, because my civic was also hit last month and don't wanna claim again. SFSU students doesn't know how to drive :(

But yeah, I'll probably go and find a body shop and see what they say.
Hopefully it's just a little pop here and there to get them back into places.

The bumper is easily mis aligned (i have it from scraping a driveway hard). I would say you can prob just pull the side off and realign and should be ok.

this happen to me in my firestorm ! paint and materal was all over $500 not inculding the labor and fender ! i would file a claim .. thats why you have insurance . thats what i have to say .. we cant keep ours cars in ugly condition

I'd say you wouldn't really know the extent of the damage until you take them apart.... It could be as simple as a slightly bent bracket to bent frame. If I were you, I'd take the bumper out to see what's really under it.

Good luck. I hope it really isn't anything major.

Another 86 boo boo :( arg.. My bumper got scraped and lil pulled off once driving in the mountains when I pulled off. Was able to pop it back in but it depends on how bad the damage was. Good luck
