I was thinking the same thing too when I first looked at the pics. It might be the gaps look wide because the hood isn't latched.

And remember if you were buying all new parts, you'd run up a big bill. If you take your time and search junk yards or ebay, you can find a headlight here, a fender there, etc. Parts will cost you a lot less then. This is the point runjmc2 was making. My guess is Lobo's repair used new parts, which he should demand since it was someone else's fault. You should be able to find used parts for an 11 yr old car.
