Fender not matching up with hood after painting Please help!

Hey guys, I've just been working on my 91 TA project, I had all of the body panels lined up really close, primed it and left it until yesterday when I painted the engine area the body colour. The only 2 rubber bumpers were on the front, there was none on the side and it still lined up, but today, after painting it all of a sudden decides that the fender sits 1/2" higher than the hood, if it's the rubber bumpers, where do I get a set? Thanks, KP.

If this has anything to do with it, I had the hood, doors, and hatch open, aswell as the t-tops out.

Do you still have the bumpers (hood stops) in the front? Are you missing the ones that go in the fenders on the side? Is it higher in the front or the rear? It can't be that big of a problem, post a pic if you can.
