Default Wierd front end question...
So lately I have been trying to fit my front bumper cover on, and since my car has been bumped in the front drivers side, its been well lets say a challenge. Today as I was replacing a relay, I noticed that there is a huge difference between how my front end pieces are lined up... Here are some pics. I want to know which one is correct.



thanks for your help!

Pics aren't the best, but #1 looks okay to me. Sorry, but I can't make heads or tails out of the second pic.

the pics are technically the same, just different sides fo the car. You can see in both pics the backside of the running amber colored light. What I want you guys to look at is the area where the metal support attaches to the rubber honeycomb thingy. Should there be a big washer there or not?

Aha! I see, but can't say whether it should be there or not. Have you checked the AIM to see if theAIM shows it? Might be factory. Might be Bubba.

I said the driver's side was good...not the passenger's side. The picture without the nut is correct.
