Oh i see its because a few years ago the hood wouldnt open enough to grab the latch so my parents had the hood adjusted to a slightly higher level if that makes sense.Hey would a new latch fix this so i can get the hood at the right level again???

Damn that reminds me of my old RS, right down to the color, the t-tops, the L03, and the wheels. Almost exactly the same, except for the grill, tint, and the fact that yours is much cleaner. Here's what I used to do with my RS --> click for pic <-- and now its a gutted hasbeen with no motor, or trans, and 5 different body colors. bwahahah!!

You need to adjust the small rubber "posts" that the hood rests on. Turn them up a bit, but not too much otherwise the hood will not sit flush on the nose. Adjust them too low and the hood will not want to pop up when you pull the cable.

You should get the gray/silverish center caps for those wheels
Or just get new wheels

Yeah I like the look of the black caps more than the silver ones...the silver ones look kind of cheap to me for some reason.
But anyways I plan on getting new wheels in the future but being only 15 I am limited!I was thinking of going with 18 inch polished irocs with the center lines of the wheel painted gun-metal gray but i dont however like the fact that I can only get them in an 8 or 8.5 inch width.So....maybe I will save my pennies and hopefully have some Boyds or other custom wheel by the end of high school!!!!!

Thanks alot I'll try adjusting it today!!!
