Hey guys, thanks in advance for your assistance. I recently purchased an 87 LX 5.0 that I am just now starting to restore. The problem I ran in to today is that the front bumper cover and the front fenders are no where near lining up. The front fender is about 21" from top to bottom and the bumper cover is around 22.5" from top to bottom. The bumper cover protrudes past the fender by about 1.5" on the bottom when they are lined up at top. The rest of the fender matches perfectly including the hood lines and the door lines and both of the fenders are new but look like everything matches up other than the bumper cover. I don't know if the fenders are for something else but all of the other body lines line up. Any ideas? I have pictures and will get them up if I can in a few minutes. Can't post pics, so here:

Sounds like you are missing the fender extensions where they meet at the bottom. The links for the pics do not work.

Thanks for the reply. Do the pictures work now? I looked at the fender extensions online but can't figure out if that is what I need or not.

You need the fender extensions. No question. Dont try to force it together as is because you need them on there first in order to know where the bolts line up.
