    Hey Guys I got in a minor accident yesterday and was wondering how I should go about fixing this, anything helps. Headlights and everything looks a little messed up, but my biggest concern is the bumper gap.

    The bumper is held in place with bolts. Try loosening the and adjusting the bumper

    All depends on how much you want to spend
    1-Bodyshop most expensive
    2-buy all new AM/OE parts and install yourself (not too difficult….hardest part is adjusting front face bar brackets by yourself (a buddy helper highly recommended)
    3-budget (most cost effective)
    Do yourself
    Start by taking off face bar assembly and inspect parts
    Bumper brackets can be hammered back in a vise and reused. Definitely need that lower valence. This option will not be perfect but acceptable

    You are going to have to pull the bumper off and start a parts list. The bumper is shoved back on the passenger side so new bumper and lower valance and probably bumper brackets. You could even have frame damage on the RH side.

    If none of this interest you then replace RH turn signal and just drive it as is.
