Gaps in Hood lines on front of car?

My son's car hit something before we bought it and here is what the hood looks like and the front plastic bumper spoiler thing. Any ideas to fix this?
Thanx in advance. As you can see it's on both sides and looks bad.

It looks like it wasent lined up when they bolted the nose on. You could probly fix it by unbolting and lineing it up.

ya, there should be 4 bolts running along the inside of the fender, which is where the front bumper mounts up to. Should be a simple unbolt, line up, and bolt back on.

Although looking at it, the outer edges are lined up, but not at the same angle. And the inside edge is far off. Am I the only one seeing that? If so you might have more problems than just lining it up. But that's just me.
