I'm assuming that my car was in some sort of wreck before i got it. Oh well, runs and drives so I'm happy. Over the past couple of weeks its started to bug me more and more. Basically, There is a solid inch and a half gap or so between my hood and my front bumper. I can see where the bumper is supposed to attach to the passenger side fender and how its ripped out. I pull it back up tho and its still not good. Here, take a look at these and tell me what you think

from a distance, you can see it in general

becoming more noticeable when you get closer

The worst part is that it affects my headlights. My low beams seriously only illuminate the ten feet of road directly in front of me and nothing else

I have to drive with high beams on 24/7 :(

anyone wanna help me out? If i can whack it back into place i'll be happy. If not, estimates? Any and all help is appreciated.

May just need to tear it down and re-align everything. A new bumper may help as well.

Think a shop that does alignments would be able to help? I'd rather do it myself but if it takes any special tools I won't be able to.

You may need to lift the front frame horns up a bit. Or maybe the front rebar isnt on there or its out of adjustment.
