If you are taling about aligning the hood with the portion of the bumper between the headlights, I have had some experience with that....First, I would be sure the hood is at its optimal location (lines up with fenders, cowl, etc) If the hood is still misaligned, then you could try loosening the bolts holding the top of the bumper and moving the top of the bumper around until you get the desireed fit. You may have to drill new holes for the attachment of the fascia. Let me know how it turns out...this is how I did my hood and it turned out fine.....
