Default Super Crappy body work

After 2months of headache dealin with body shop and Insurance Adjustors after black ice accident my hood and bumper are out of line. Can tell exactly where accident was. And my Right Rear fender Gap is almost 2inches higher than my driver side fender gap... Im meticulous person and that **** almost made my head explode...Body shop said good as new like OEM finish when were done. Did my research on the shop had good reviews on facebook, yelp and google reviews... Also some people recommended me to them. There pretty well known....Shouldve took the check when offered from Insurance when they totaled my car cuz of engine wireharness they quoted for 3300 from Lexus/ dealer...found one at salvage site OEM for 200. so I was able to get my car fixed with clean title.

Anyone know if that gap can be fixed? could I just get a coilover for that one spot. I had ambitions to lower the whole car before the accident but know with that Gap im not sure im able to now...Also that uneven hood and bumper fixable or that something I just have to accept when getting involved in a front end driver side accident

Luv My IS300 and wanted to keep it til end of the world now I cant wait to get rid of it...

Any advice be greatly appreciated

Gracias homies

Eeek! Sorry to see.

It's for certain a difference in the body work and not the suspension? What did they say to you when you brought it back to the shop?

Damn that's a bummer, but yeah you might just want to redo the suspension, you never know what components got tweaked during the crash or refab.
