Default Help! Front Fascia Alignment

I ran a search but found nothing on body fits. I just noticed last week that my front fascia is out of alignment. The area of the fascia on the inner side of the headlights is rubbing the hood on the passenger side and there is a good 8-10 mm gap on the driver side. I attached a photo. Is there any adjustment to the front fascia? I really dont want to have to go to a body shop.
Thanks
Dan

Maybe the bolts that hold your hood hinges to the hood are loose, or something like that. Have you had the hood off lately?

The front fascia should be fine, it look slike the hood needs to be re aligned, you will have to bring the pasenger side back while making sure the driver side of the hood stays in the same position. You will have to loosen both sides of the hood,it wil take some time of slowly closing and opening the hood to align it properly.
Even stock hoods wont be perfect so dont think it is only you.

Thanks for the replys. I haven't touched anything on the body since it was new. I'll try adjusting the hood and I'll let you know. It may be a day or two. Its only 15 out this morning and the Chevelle owns the garage right now. Thanks Again

You may need to adjust the hood latch too, once you get the hood back where it needs to be.
