front bumper twisted? how to fix?
ok, hard to explain, but the front PS looks like the bumper under the headlights is shoved in and up really far, then the DS is out and down. here is a pic to show what im talking about, but how would i be able to fix this?: would i be able to hammer it out? me and my girlfriends brother are going to try wednesday to hammer it out, but i would appreciate to hear a response to give advice. thanks:::

To take off the bumper you have to take off the piece over the fan shroud by the hood latch. Then pull the grille(some bolts inside also little plastic clips). There are some torx bolts on the top of the bumper and regular bolts underneath and on the side I believe..

The actual bumper is probably just flexing...the problem is probably with the bumper brackets. It looks like there was an impact...which bent the brackets holding the bumper in place.

thanks for the response guys! do you think its fixable to bend the bumper brackets back if thats what it is?

Its worth a shot. Get under there and remove the brackets from both pass. and drivers side and compare them. The bumper will stay put while you take those off...just...dont go jumping on it or anything
