hood isn't flush with car body
hood isn't flush with car body
This is minor, but I just noticed today that my bone stock tsx's hood isn't flush with one side of the car body when it's closed. What I mean is that when the hood is down and latched in place, the right side of the car body lines up perfectly, but the left side is slightly above the hood itself (this is the part of the car that's above the front passenger wheel well). The body is about 1/4inch higher than the hood on the passenger side. It's pretty noticeable if you're looking. I can pull up on the hood to make it level with that side, but it won't stay that way when latched in. Is there any way I can adjust the hood or the locking mechanism that keeps it in place? Could my hood just be warped? I can post pics if my description doesn't make too much sense.
The first pic is the driver's side of the hood. Note how it is completely flush with the body. The second pic shows the passenger side. There's an obvious wide gap. Any way to fix/adjust this w/out going to the dealer?

I'll keep this thread around for those who freak out just like I do.
