I had a little trouble with the corners by my headlights...., and also up by the windshield.
It looks good and I am happy with it, but not 100%

I can say 1 thing... I dont let shops put my hood on...it isnt their car so when they get it close to right they give up...do it yourself... you will have to drill out the stock hinges on 99% of hoods to give them room to slide so you can get it perfect... the hood isnt painted so dont be afraid to install it... once you do it a few times you master it...its all about shifting little at a time... as for the headlight.. try to adjust the bump stop right next to the light...

Notch out your hinges to make them bigger, then raise the driver side a hair and lower the passenger side bump-stop. That should fix it. Play with it as much as you can to make it work

assume the hood hinges in the corner of the car

the ones that go up/down with the hood. 2 bolts per side

make those holes bigger so the hood can move up/down/sideways to center

Mine is the same but my car has factory Z28 hood. If the front corners line up with the fenders then it is probually the nose not fitting right or warped. I think thats what mine is but not sure.

so if i understand what your saying then,just drill the holes out bigger,then would you need to get bigger screws and washers? how much bigger am i suppose to make the holes?

any pics??

I got a ws6 hood from vfn for my TA and it did the same thing you just need to drill the bolt hole on the hinges longer so the bolt can sit lower in the hinges and it will be fine. I didnt have to take my stoppers off either if was just the bolt was sitting to high my the hinges.
