Default Bumper to hood gap...

I have a question concerning the space between the hood and bumper(the little gap)? I look around and mine looks bigger than everyone elses. Nothing dramatic just a tad bigger! Is there any reason for this?

This is actually quite normal on the F-bodies. Some have larger gaps on the sides, and some have it on the front. Just pop you hood, loosen the bolts holding you hood into the hinges, and slide it forward until you feel it will line up to your satisfaction. This may take a few times to get it right, but it is a simple job.

That is for the LS1 right the 4-5 bolts across as soon as you open the hood?
