Are my fenders the same?

I was modifying an old grill to fit my Z because it didn't have a bumper or grill when I got it, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of options for buying one. So I figured why not use what I already have on hand.

 

I was trying to make both sides equal on their contour and found there was more of a gap on the driver side than the passenger.

 

I am curious, do I have two different fenders on my car? Did different years have different curves? Here's pictures:

It looks like the valance end pieces may be different between years, or one is bent. One thing is for sure, you aren't dealing with fender differences, just end pieces....
Im thinking its bent...

 

I was thinking one was just bent, but measured from the ground, they're the same height. The driver side sticks out nearly an inch further than the passenger.

 

I may just replace them with an air dam, just trying to decide on one I like.

 

Is there any way to try and bend them without destroying the paint? Heat gunning the paint first?
