Re: CF hood gap problems (nocaryet)
you could try loosening the bolts on top of the fender and pushing it more towards the hood. that is if its not all the way towards it

What chasis?
On 96-00 Civics there are two rubber bushings that are screwed in by the headlamps when you pop your hood you should see em, they're fat and black. With our hands you can screw them in or screw them out causing the hood to raise on either side.
I had the same exact problem like you man, same side too.
What I did about it was I rasied the passanger side so the driver's side would go lower but the passanger is slightly raised, but now it's even all the way across.

Oh heres another trick that worked too.
I put a towel on my hood and I took some weights (like a bench-pressing free weights) and put it on top I think I used 30lbs. And left it for like 24hours. It turned out pretty nice.
