Edit: I got it a little closer, but not much. Im starting to think its not the hood since on each side the hood lines perfectly with the fenders. Im thinking its the front bumper, but I have no idea how that could be adjusted. I did remove the bumper a few months ago to replace my airpump. But its all clipped on perfect and all the holes line up for the bumper. Any advice on how to fix that?

Okay guys. I use to have my custom air guide and cooling panel on my car and I didnt have to modify the latch or anything to get the hood to close right. So I have not messed with it at all. Today just looking at it there is a significantly larger gap on the driver side edge on the corner near the bumper..and the passenger side is almost touching the bumper. So I took my cooling panel and air guide off to see if it would align right then, still the same. So I tried messing with the latch for a while and nothing, still looks the same. I also tried adjusting the rubber stoppers without any luck. Is there any advice someone can give me to help line it up a little better. Im not even sure how it got that bad without even messing with it. Opinions?

Here are the pics:



Passenger side (close to bumper)



Driver side (Farther from bumper)

 

Pics added man. Everytime im getting in the car it just stands out and it gets really annoying! OEM peices shouldnt fit like that.

 

Hmm, i'll mess with the bumper today and see if I can get it any closer. Yeah its just weird b/c everything is all snug. I tried pushing on the bumper pretty hard and it wouldnt budge.

 

You'll need to split the difference, It's something I could fix in about ten min. You'll need to move the fenders over to give you a bigger gap on the right side, then reline the hood. It does not matter the hood lines up nice with the fenders, it's all off. Take every bolt out a few turns so you can move all the panels but the need to be snug so you can open the hood and it not move when you do so. Hope this helps.

 

i think adjusting hood latch will fix it, you might want to try again
adjusting the latch is annoying though

 

Yeah iv gotten it closer from what it is in the pics, but its still a little off. I dont really feel like unbolting a bunch of stuff to try and fix a very small gap right now, im to lazy haha.

 

Don't unbolt, just about a turn and a half, maybe two.

 

hhhmmm. i've had my ap2 bumper off like 5 times and it always lines back up really easily.
