That is most likely tweaked and will need to be bent back into place if you ever want the car to look like it did before. You're also going to most likely end up breaking the white and black clips on the sideskirt so be prepared to order those from Mitsubishi (they're not expensive, but they always seem to be a special order item).

Yep, i was taking a look closely at it the other night, and i came to the same conclusion. that part of the body where the fender connects to, and the hood sits on top of is bent down. So... i've never really done that kind of stuff before but i was thinking about using a torch to heat it up a bit and bend it back into place, and weld the cracks?
Anyone know if that would be a good idea or bad idea, or what i should do to get that bent back. i could take some better pictures later, my first post was from my cell phone right after it happened.
