Should I be mad at my body shop?
 
Today I was washing the car and I noticed that the driver's side front fender doesn't really line up with the rest of the car. Looking at it from the side, it's noticeably a little bit higher than the rest of the car. If you look at the strip of black trim on the side of the car, you can tell. Also, my driver's side headlight seems to be kind of pointing in and up. The trim under the headlight where the washer has a gap under it, between it and the bumper, and you can stick your fingers in it. I had noticed this about a month ago because once I shut my hood and a piece of that headlight trim (one of the tabs that holds it on) snapped off. I haven't hit anything since I had this body work done, so it must have been like this since I picked it up (this happened back in February)... Is there anything I can do about it at this point?

If they're reputable, they will stand behind their work.

The body shop is part of my dealer. Are they going to care that I only noticed this 5 months later?

They should.

That is not part of the "aging process."

As I said, of they're reputable they will stand behind their work. Some shops offer lifetime warranty on their repairs. If the job is done right, you will never be back.

As long as there is no indication that the misalignment occured after it left their shop, they should step up and correct it. It shouldn't be that much effort to correct the problem.
