My car was clipped befor I bought it. good possibility the front hood is not original. Respray... so is there a way to get it to line up at the corners. The middle is tight as possible, but the hood itself does not meet at either side, I dont want to try to bend it a little and then I need another hood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

open the hood put your foot on the bumper were the low spot and use your knee as a pivot and one hand on either side of the hood and slowly flex the outer sides of the hood down it is like adjusting a door that has a window frame for air noise you may have to do this a few times to get it right if you flex the hood to much with out moving your pivot point (your knee) you will kink your hood and you are screwed then check the adjustment on your latch
