2010 Camaro RS front fender not aligning perfectly with the front bumper - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Is my 2010 Camaro RS front fender not supposed to align perfectly with the front bumper?
I hit a raccoon and a dealership doing the body work says that their is supposed to be a small bump (not a perfectly smooth alignment) where the front bumper meets the front fender. That the front fender is supposed to stick out just ever so slightly on both sides behind the front bumper. Is this true?

I would think it should ... I know the front bumper on 2013 SS is flush/even with my side fenders.

You'd have to show a pic of the area for us to make a good call but I would say no.

The front bumper should shit flush with all panels, except possibly the hood which you may want the hood to sit just a slight bit below the bumper to prevent whistles. It's kind of a paint to access the 10MM bolts that hold the front fascia on. It can be adjusted a little bit by loosening those bolts, setting the bumper in place and snugging them down until you are satisfied. There are also some alignment pins in the fascia that align into the fenders.
