Anything can be fixed. I would go back to the guys who did the tires and have them eat the cost. You might have a hard time getting their help if it has been a while. Good luck with everything.

Responded to your other post - did the same thing to my car first time I put it on a lift w/o paying attention - and I knew better. All was fine after getting the tabs back in their right location. It's not a jacking point - believe mine says "do not jack here" or something similar on the tabs.

Mine has a smaller version of the same problem. Some cocksuck jacked it up wrong, and I didn't notice it until one day after a wash. By then it had been lifted by several places, couple of tire shops, exhaust shop, shop where I had a solid pinion spacer installed, alignment shop. No telling which douchey ***** did it, but it's not too bad on mine. Only another fbody driver probably would even notice.

Actually you're lucky cause it looks like the fender tab didn't break. It's an easy fix cause the metal is thin. Bend it do you can get to the bolts, unbolt it and straighten the metal tab with pliers, small hammers etc. then bolt the fender back in place and it will pull the fender back in and your lower moulding will sit right too.
