Default hood and front bumper

it seens like the hood wont sit flush with the front bumper. ive moved the bump stops down on the front end and it still wont stay flush. its 1/4" or a little less than that higher than the bumper. is there anything else i can do to line them up?

Smaller stops, Check to see if its hitting anywhere, Maybe you can move the latch system too, I dont know on the camaros though.

did you put on a new hood? sometimes you need to adjust the hinge with a dremel to pull the hood down some, when i put on my ws6 hood i had to do it.

i dont know whats up with it, the front bumper is in place and when i pull it up it doesnt move much, so its gotta be the hood.

you can unbolt the hood hinge and tap it down a couple mm right?
