A vehicle front end structure has a firewall structure and a pair of hood ledge
structures that extend in a cantilevered manner. Each of the hood ledge structures
has a vehicle frame mounting part for coupling its free end to the vehicle chassis.
Thus, the hood ledge structures are configured and arranged to be separately supported
by the firewall structure to form an unobstructed space between the hood ledge
structures. A front end module is fixedly coupled to the hood ledge structures
at a pair of upper attachment points and at pair of lower attachment points. The
lower attachment points are offset inwardly relative to the upper attachment points.
The front end module and the hood ledge structures are provided with mating guide
members that have horizontal and vertical guide portions to aid in the installation
of the front end module on the hood ledge structures.
