    the steps here to adjust your hood are way wrong. the rubber bump stops are not for adjusting the hood. if you take the headlight grills off, and close the hood you can get to all 10 ot the adjustment bolts on the FRONT of the hood. the 6 that attach to the hood itself will do side to side, and bring the hood foreward or back. if you look on the hinge itself, one of the bolts gets the grounding strap- those 2 on each side will adjust the height of the hood on the front- bring it lower or higher. the rear of the hood you can adjust through the latches that catch the little wheels on the hood.

      the bump stops adjust the front of the hood up and down without messing with any bolts.

        Did this a couple days ago, adjusted the actual hood bracket. Fits decently now. Good enough for me.

            Matt you should get some Evo3 hood seals to fill the gaps inbetween the hood and fenders. Makes the hood more flush to the fenders and the gap isn't as noticable.
