So what is different 3 weeks later than when you posted the first thread? The fix is not going to change.

The hood is crooked beucase it's more then likely been wrecked, that is is the core support is screwed up.

The killer is you didn't identify what car this was in the last thread OR this one.

It's just the coolant overflow tank. But It's a 2000 civic si. I was wondering if the problem could be anything else or if you know of anyway to fix it would be great

You can keep asking the same question and you'll get the same answer as the last time you asked it. Fix it already.

My favorite type of work. Provided you have a good eye: 1) remove radiator 2) get a BFH preferably a sledge and bang the sucker straight, otherwise you will be drilling out about 30 to 50 spot welds and then "spot" welding the other support on. BTW "BFH" is acronym for Big yucking Hammer.
Then try a different hood that has not been in a wreck.
