    Seems like the whole hood is up just a pinch, you shouldn’t see as much of the foam on top of the euro grills, but its not too noticeable. You post every update don’t you?

    Oh ya: looks good.

          my car suffered from that same gap

          yours looks high just from looking at the hood/fender point.
          (per 'the book', hood should be 1mm below fender reference)

          while the bentley didn't indicate adjustability at the latch point (accessible by removing drivers-side grill), I found 'plenty' of adjustability there.

          play around with it..

            no no no there are two rubber slam stoppers that you turn in and out like a screw. that adjusts the front hoods height. youll see them above the headlights on both sides. crank em down by hand. car looks clean.

                          even better i already sold it. but i feel bad because i forgot to mention that i made a hole above the peg so i could mount it to my car, because the stock kidney on my car uses a screw and washer to mount, other than that it was in like new condition and mounts like new also.
