Default fender/hood gap

on one side, there no gap, it's pretty clean and looks nice, on the other side, there is about a | | size gap [maybe bigger]. there is a gap for the hood/front bumper too. i tried playing with he adjustable 10mm bolts but it was as low as it could go. i guess i have 2 questions..maybe 3. how can i get my hood down lower? reslot the holes? do i have to reslot the holes on the fender too? it's an EJ8 (96-98). i just want to make it look clean. the previous owner had some kit on it and when i bought it, i sold the kit and threw the stock bumper back on, but there was a gap, it's alawys been there, but this weekend, i want to deal with it.

if you adjust the hood latch on the radiator support and lower it then it will pull the hood down lower. you have to take off the latch and possibly expand the holes with a dremel tool. for the fenders if you loosen all the bolts you can adjust how they sit, you can also put washers under it so it will space it up higher.

I am having the same problem with my 97 Integra. The gap between my hood and the front bumper is larger on the passenger side compared to the driver side. I even removed the rubber alignment pieces on the radiator support beam, but the gap is still the same. Wouldn't the hood be equally higher if it was the latch that needs adjustment?
