hood alignment
does anyone know how to get that gap out of the middle of my hood. the sides are fine but the middle has that 1/2 inch gap. Thanks in advance.

How about a better description. Do you mean between hood and quarter panels is ok, but hood and front clip there is a 1/2" gap?
or...?

yes the gap on the fenders is good but the bumper cover has the gap.

i have heard of people useing washers and new bolts to raise the bumper up to an inch
