Default Help me fix my hood!

I don't know wtf the problem is here. I've been trying to adjust this hood since forever, I've tried spacers to even the gap. Tried to sit on it. Nothing, anyone got any freakin idea on how to fix this? It looks crooked but can't seem to get it adjusted.


left side gap


under hood.

If you look at the headlight and corner light, there is also a gap. Doesn't look like the hood is the problem. Any front end damage in the past?

Push the headlight upward, and unscrew the fender and pull it away from the front of the car and then tighten it down.

I think your hood is fine....your headlight looks like it is sitting lower than it should, also your bumper is lower on the drivers side too!...Thats easy to adjust...once you figure out how to adjust the light, remove the bumper turn signals, and theres two bolts behind it. loosen those and that will help you realign the bumper. From your pic, your hood appears to be lined up with the side marker and fender. Good luck!

i fixed it, you guys who said it was the headlight, you were right. I raised the bumper support and now the gap is tighter than a virgin.
