show me a pic of the gap, then the underside of the hood and engine bay. you have quite a few adjustments you can make to get the gaps to line up and the hood to fit better.

You can adjust the hinges close to the windscreen, you can also lower the clamp/locking mechanism on the front of the car.

Get some pics indeed, to get a good idea which one you'd have to adjust.

First thing I would check is to see if you have screwed in the two rubber stops that the hood rests on that is usually the problem if not like someone said post some pics.

That's sad that you're calling him "retarted" when its spelled RETARDED.

Very sad indeed.

there are different ways to adjust the hood. Since you said the gap bettween the hood and the grill is to big one way to adjust this is to lower the latch. Most every car has and adjutable hood latch. Loosen the screws that hold the latch on the car and repostion. It might take a couple of adjustments to get it to fit right. Also the rubber stoppers on each side is a good place to try messing with. This is more for getting the hood to line up with the fenders. I had to raise the latch when I got my CF hood, and i had to take off the bumper to get at it. Good luck and post some pics because a picture is worth a thousand words.

Check the rubber stops and the latch...then come back if you have any more problems.
