new hood gap advice
new hood gap advice ive got the sides almost perfect with the hood...need to raise it in one area some andgot the width almost perfect on it...
problem is the hood seems to be too short...when i sit it down all the way even with the bumpstops all the way down the hood seems to have a faily noticeable gap at the front...i can almost stick my finder in it...how should i build it up? i tried fiberglass soaked in resin and cant get it to wrap around the front of the hood which is what i wanted to do...
i saw them on muscle car(power block tv) wipe bondo then cut a line then i can put bondo on the back of it to reinforce it...or fiberglass im just not sure...mayb its just the fiberglass cloth i got? should i ge the chopped glass and try wraping that around the front of the hood?

yeai tried that but the back is basically perfect the curve fits the fenders right...its just got to be built up in the front for me to be happy...you can see the push clips that hold the bumper on
if there was a good way tp pull the bumper up that would be best but i dont see any way...the top is all helt up by pushclips...and they have no tighnes to adjust...if so i could simply pull it up to match the hood

its a harwood...and its on correct the hood just is too short..the back lines up perfect with he fenders but the front is short...
the bumper i think does sag some but i have no idea how to pull it up to the hood....the pushclips wont give enough grip to hold it up

i had the same problem on mine. it was all messed up when i bought it a couple months ago. i adjusted it where the bumper bolts to the grey bumper support and it lined up good. there are 2 bolts right infront of the bumper clips. there is a vertical line hole where the bolts go. just loosen those up and pull/push the bumper closer then tighten them down. here are some pics of mine. by the way man, im loving the rims. thanks
