Default body gaps

How do you fix your hood to fender gaps, and hood to bumper gap? The fenders line up with the door just not the hood.

It "should" all line up if the hood is aligned correctly. My advice would be to put on the fenders and bumper all completely tightened up and correctly aligned then see if you can align the hood to sync up with them.

There is really no "built in" way to adjust the fender/hood alignment or the fender/bumper one. They do have slight maneuverability but not enough to really make any significant difference.

If all else fails, you could go to the local hardware store and get some basic washers and use them as spacers and see if you can get it to work, but try my first suggestion first.

Hope that helped!
