I'm havin the same problem on 2002 Vert. There is about a 3/8" gap between the front leading edge of the hood where it meets the bumper & it looks like ****. Mine is pewter & the gap makes the paint look two tone.Hood one shade & the bumper cover a different shade.

I did it on my old car and a friends. If you look at the bracket that hold the front bumper cover on you will see that you can loosen the bolts and pull the bumper up and retighten. I you can also adjust how far the hood latches down, but then your hood might not match up with your fenders. Sorry i dont have any pics to show you exactly what im talking about.

which bolts exactly can you undo and lift up? because im not familiar with the front bumper area. aalso, can you do it from up top? and not have to take any tabs or anything off?
