The gaps require you to adjust the latch, hinges, bumpers on the cowl and radiator support numbers of times to get it correct it can be quite time consuming, it's something you have to have a feel for I have been doing it for years so it's pretty easy for me but, yah just take your time and think about which way you need to go and where it will need to be adjusted to get there..
