#196155 to me it looks like your front end was hit hard and someone poorly repaired it :thumbdown:

#196156 That's exactly what it looks like to me. If it was from the factory, or even done by a professional body shop it should be painted the same color as the rest of the body.

I'd get a car fax and look closely at the rest of the front end of your car for signs of damage.

#196172 A professional has to install it because if you DIY you might not line it up right and then nothing is going to line up.

#196191 I would take it to a professional and get their opinion after looking over the entire car. Maybe the existing damage can be repaired, or there could be much worse damage that would make the whole car not being worth getting fixed. So far we've only seen the one area but really the whole chassis needs to be looked at.
