HOOD PROBLEMS

Need tips or ideas on how to make my hood even with the body lines. Ive posted these pics in another thread because I do not recommend the company. I did a search on hood alignment and didnt come up with much.

Re: HOOD PROBLEMS

Do your fenders have the little rubber bumpers in them? There should be two on each fender. I've heard of people having problems with the SS hood. I believe ASDC makes that hood, but there could be others.

Re: HOOD PROBLEMS

I have one set but they are on the front near the radiator. I will go by autozone tomorrow and check into that thanks. I was thinking about it at work today and I thought hey some rubber bumpers might do the trick. Ha never knew they actually came stock with them on the fenders. Thanks again.
