aftermarket hood aliment

Hey guys, i bought this hood afew years back and wanted to ask some questions on fitment, there is a huge gap where the front of the hood meets the nose. the side of the hood meets the body lines of the fenders. how do i go about adjusting the fron of the hood or nose to close the gap. it is a pretty big gap to the point i can stick my hands right under it. also the hood doesnt latch also. i posted some pics but thats all i have as of now since the car is at the shop going to get dyno'd

Re: aftermarket hood aliment

just dig into the area where the hood latch is and adjust/bring up the nose where it meets the headlight fixture bolts.
