Default Can someone measure the OEM gap (Hood/Front Bumper)

Can someone let me know the OEM gap between the EG hood and front bumper (very front of car between the headlights).

THanks!

For what reason? If you are just trying to get it prefect then line up to your fenders and adjust bumper to fit for a clean gap.

I'm pretty sure after this many years none of our gaps are going to be the same

I just lowered the hood latch because the hood would visibly vibrate when the car idled and rocks/dirt would collect in areas throughout the bay.

The hood no longer vibrates and I thought about buying a new seal, but I'm waiting to see if the adjustment will take care of the problem.

I didn't measure the gap. Just made sure the hood isn't lower than the fenders at the corner lights.

all the front body panels allow for some adjustment, after doing 2 jdm front conversions on my integra's I know this very well. eyeballing it is the best, mine looks perfect I just measured and marked no "oem gap".

I went to look at a car that had its front core support replaced, and the entire front end had been disassembled during restore. The pictures led me to believe the gap was a bit larger than it should be, at which point the adjustments that I could make may be minimal.

I was going to measure the gap against an untouched car with OEM spacing to see how far off it was/wasnt.

Thanks!
