Dude. Try loosening the four bolts and follow what he said. The hinges are independent of each other and as you pull the hood in the direction it needs to go tighten the bolts. This will slowly work your hood over.

You can play with the rubber stops to adjust the front corner levels. You may even need to loosen a couple of fender bolts to get proper gap fitting up the sides of the hood and fenders.

This is Real Easy. You Can Do It!

before you loosen the fenders, try bending the hood hinges to whatever side. then screw on the hood and see.
