i was in supermarket parking lot and someone back into my front bumper. A little bit of cracked paint. Nothing dented but i can see the bumper is not aligned with the head light that much now, and there is a noticeable gap between the bottom of the headlight and the bumper. Whats the best thing to do now? Take off the whole bumper and try to align it again? I will take pictures this afternoon

I hate those little paint chips.. for me it won't be the same... I'll always see it and it'll bug me till I fix it... IF I were you I'd just get that guy/girl to comp. you so that you can take it to a professional body shop to get it ALL done... Then you wont have to worry about aligning the bumper... It wasn't your fault to begin w/, why would YOU have to be the one stressing and working to resolve it...

yeah but the thing is it was a hit and run. It was night time so i didnt notice it till this morning. I don't want to claim it with insurance its a 500 deductable. I can have the whole bumper painted for 150 or even just buy a used ap 1 bumper from somebody and use this one as my track bumper.

ouch!

so will taking off my bumper and rescrewing everything tightly help align the bumper better or is the bumper warped now?

Partshelper

the bumper should not be warped, those are very stong bumpers, It may help to tighten everything up, if you need paint, let Spugen Know.

this happen to me about a month ago when i parked on the street. hit and run all i did was buff it out and put on some touch up paint on the parts where paint was chipped off. for the alignment mines was not that bad
