hood alignment

Is there anything that we can do to align the hood? My car has a bigger gap on the right side than the left side when it's closed.

Yes, I did this when I put my c/f hood on, b4 i took it back off just to make sure everything was cool. What you want to do is raise the hood up, and loosen the 4 bolts that hold it on, on the bottom of the hood. Then, put the hood down and it will have some play, then gently slide it which direction you need, either back on 1 side or forward, play with it, then gently raise the hood and tighten. It may take a bit of playing, but you'll get it, it's not hard, I have done it on several cars and never had a problem unless the hood was bent.
