Default HELP! CF Hood needs alignment

I received my Mastergrade CF hood on Monday, and it looks great, but the passenger side has a bigger gap than the driver side. I'm not sure how to get it to align up better. Also the front of the hood does come even with my bumper, what can I do about this?? Thanks for the help.

Loosen all attach points: brackets to hood, brackets to body, hood to latch, latch to body and move it around with the attach points loose but snug. Turn down the four rubber supports. Get it aligned then evenly tighten all mount points.

Take the latch off the hood at first so she can sit all the way down without latching.

Wow, you recieved something from Mastergrade. Amazing. It's been 2 months, and they never sent me my wing. So i asked them to credit my account back, and another month went by, and i had to call them again, for them to do it. Now they charged me for shipping still, when I dind't recieve any package.

Yeah I know what your talking about, it took me about a month and half to receive my hood, and I called them 3 times during that time. I planned on ordering some more peices from them, but if their going to take 2 months to ship everything then forget it. Althought the hood is very nice.

There are two up front left and right side and two midway back both sides. Turn them down and once the hood is aligned turn them up a little at a time to achieve a good snug fit after you latch it.
