Hi there. I just got my 04 touring a few days ago and the car runs great it just has some cosmetic blemishes that I could use some advice on.

First of all the corner bolt where the bumper meets the fender it seems that the fender bent/broke and it creates this hideous panel gap. Any ideas on how to fix this without buying a new fender??

Next isnt that bad but my reverse light looks out of place. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it as simple as sticking my hand in there and moving it?

And last the rims are pretty ****ed up... breaks my heart. Anyways I'm planning on plastidipping the rims but theres a lot of dents/scratches/gashes. How should I deal with this before the plasti-dip or should I just spray them over?

Man, that's a lot of damage. The previous owner didn't tell you what they did to it? Those aren't cosmetic, they're serious issues that will need more than the typical "that will buff right out" job.

You'll need to find a specialist that can fix your wheels. The guys who powdercoat or paint wheels can probably smooth out those scratches.

The fender and bumper issues will need a body shop, IMO. That's if you want to make sure it looks stock and aligns properly. I don't think it can be fixed in your garage.

 

Ya i knew about the problems but i got it for a good deal and it runs great. I was fully aware that i would have to fix up somethings

 

Oh man, that is some of the worst curb rash I've seen, your local Nissan dealership should have a contract with a shop that repairs wheels, it's usually not too costly.
Did this vehicle have a clean title?

 

I also wonder about the title. Bumper misalignment often indicates the car has been in a crash.

 

That's what I was thinking.
