How to adjust hood alignment

I searched.

Can anyone tell me how to adjust the hood alignment? Basically the gap on the left is wider than the gap on the right. This is with a VIS CF hood.

Remove the fender trim and the hood hinge cover.
The bolts that bolt into the body have elongated holes so you can move them accordingly.

Fender trim is under the hood, or down in the wheel well? Thanks man.

Under the hood. Just remove the panels to be able to access the bolts that go into the body.

Might want to try tweaking the hood hinges and front latch and hood hook if needed. Depending on how much you need to move the fenders, you could throw off the gap around the headlights. Also, loosening the headlight will help to adjust the fender on the front area.

To be clear, I want to adjust the hood hinges, not the fenders. I thought (and still do) that Turbonut was describing how to adjust the hood hinge alignment, not the fenders. Am I right? The fenders are definitely fine, the car is straight no accidents. The issue is just the CF hood needs adjusting. Thanks!
