Default front bumper + front driver side wheel

Ive had my tC for about 5 months now, bought it used.
As you can see from the pics, the front bumper is a bit uneven. The car was in an accident but it was totaled. The side impacted was the upper driver side.

Would there be an easy fix to this? Such as removing the front bumper then putting it back on? Or would i need a new front bumper? Since the car has the gfx kit, i was hoping i didnt need to replace the bumper.

Also, the driver side headlight is popped out a bit as well:

Best way to fix this too?

Lol and lastly the front left side of the car sits a little lower than the rest. Its not really noticeable till u try to fit your fingers in between the wheel and the body, and realize the difference when you do this on the driver side then the passenger side.

Any idea on whats wrong there? Is the stock spring messed up or is it something else?

Sorry for all the questions but im trying to get the minor stuff fixed before i start modding.

Thanks for the help!

your constantly putting weight on driver side causing it to sag more on that side. My car is the same way.

as for your bumper try reinstalling it and make sure the bumper snaps or fits into the side black clips, mine also does that bc i took my front bumper off so many times think the clips are messed up or the bumper it self

try to take off the bumper and headlamp and re install them you may be able to adjust or correct the problems.

Also, could be the parts used maybe the front bumper has fitment issues. Do you know where the car was hit front, side, or back?

yea the impact was on that same side, the upper left side right above the driver near the front left wheel.

i didnt know about that cars sag on the driver side...my dads civic has almost 150k miles on it and dosent sag at all...plus im not a heavy person at all haha

im guessing the sagging has to do with the impact the car had? i may be wrong but thats what it seems like.

and ill try taking off the bumper and see if it helps. it is pretty easy to do? cuz ive never taken off a bumper before and i dont wanna f*** anything up lol

The frame near one of the clips could be bent minorly as well.
