Hello, I'm new to this forum, although I've been using it for quite some time as a knowledge base. I'd like some help with how I should go about this.
Okay, I've had my 98 3.8L Firebird for about 3 years. About 3 months ago, I was following someone pulling a trailer. (Wait for it! There is a point!~) We came to a stop light and as I begin to slow, my brake pedal,with no resistance, goes right to the floor and I smack into the back of this guys trailer. (E-brake was not good enough) My brakes went out on me (Master cylinder failure). When I hit him, the trailer hit my bumper and slid up the nose crunching in the front of the hood.
Since then I have bought a Ram-Air hood to replace the other.
Now my current problem. My bumper and hood both need to be adjusted. I've played with the hood a lot but it just won't get on there nice and square. I've included some photos, but they don't really seem to help much. Is there any area where I can adjust the bumper, or where might something be that broke? Any help would be greatly appreciated. (First time trying to upload photos, I may not know how to do it...I also used another photo service to get better quality)
