So I rear ended a car a couple days ago and damaged my front end a little bit and had a couple questions regarding repairing it.
I posted a picture below but it doesn't reflect all the damage. It looks a little worse in reality / with more light.
First of, when the hit occurred, I'm guessing the inside of the bumper hit the fenders and both of them now have a bump right in the middle of the flare (you can see it in the picture I posted below). The header panel is also cracked on the passenger side, outside but also under the hood,
When I open my lights at night, I can clearly see the angle is off and they're lighting lower than before. (I made this really basic image just to show you what I mean)
I went to the body shop and the guy there was pretty positive only my bumper, bumper brackets, header panel and fenders were damaged and really thought I shouldn't put money into it.
The thing is, I already settled on a new bumper and was wondering, based on the description and the picture, if by removing the bumper and installing a new header panel and then putting a new bumper on (I'm thinking jcr offroad bumper) it could work out?
Thanks alot!
