Hood looks like its going to fly off!!!
A couple weeks ago i got my car back from hail damage, where they totaly replaced the hood. Any way, the new hood that they gave me doesnt sit at low at the original, so there is a gap between the top of the headlights and the rubber gasket that is on the hood. So when i am going 75 down the interstatethe hood starts buffereing, it moves up and down about half an inch, makes me kind of nervious. SO is this somthing the body shop should gaurantee?

Before you take it back there is one thing you could try. Above each headlight there is a rubber "spacer" that the hood rests on that simply twists up and down to adjust the hoods height that could be your problem. If not take it back and ask them about it.
