Hi, I Am Currently In The Process Of Purchasing A 1999 Camaro SS, But There Is One Thing That I've Seen That Is Bothering Me. It Seems That Both Of The Front Fenders Have About A Quarter Inch(Maybe Less) Of A Gap From The Door.Is This A Common Problem In F-Bodies, Or A Sign That It Has Previously Been Wrecked.
Thanks In Advance

 

It's super common. Mine has them on both sides. I've heard it's from jacking the car. I've heard it's from hard launches with no sub-frame connectors (SFC's). I've heard it's just normal for them to happen. I've heard they can happen after a wreck. Take your pic.

 

Yup they lifted the car on the lift were it says dont jack here and bent the bottom of the fenders.It is easy to fit if they did not crack the bottom of the fender.Just have to unbolt the two 10mm bolts then bend the metal back and bolt the fender back on.

 

I did not know this. thanx for the info! Although I believe the gaps on my car are perfect!

yep my car has always had fender gaps. i guess previous owner jacked the car up wrong. i have bent them back in but seems over time they come back. i just need to get SFC's. but its normal for these cars

 

wow never knew this! know i know why i have the gap issue
