My front bumper is an aftermarket button because someone hit me like 2 years ago...My question is that with the aftermarket support bar do you guys think an oem bumper would fit right and sit straight on there???

The aftermarket bumper sits off a little and I dont like it.

Thanks

Think if just the lock is broke on the trunk that I can just replace that?Or should it be the whole trunk :( ?

Well the part that actually clips it on the trunk.You know when you pull your trunk up front and the lock releases...The lock doesnt move when I pull the latch up front.

i just put a new after market front end on my car. most of the time the bumpers fit (ok) but the problem i had on mine was the after market radiator supports bumper brackets were off by almost 2". what i did was cut the spot welds and raised it up on one side. it fits better than it did before but after marke is never going to be perfect. so i guess i would advise to look at the mounting bracket for your bumper and see if there off before buying more stuffs.

if you find a crash repair book, it will give you all the pin to pin dimensions so you can set your car up properly even with junk chinese repair panels. go buy a 300$ fender from teh dealer, see how well it fits.

dont forget stuff gets tweaked even in small impacts. a little massaging with a hammer and dolly will usually get everything where it needs to be.
