Gap where? Gap between what?
Pics are up too close to guess.

You need a better description on the areas your describing.

Sorry here you go. the driver side of the hood is on the little rubber bits on the fender and
the other side is further away than the driver's side and there is a little gap in the front of it where it meets the bumper on the the driver's side




I didn't have anymore room behind me

Re: Can someone help me

looks like you need to move the pass side fender in and raise that side of the front bumper up. The bumper has a lot of adjustment.

Re: Can someone help me

Some hoods are just ill fitting also. Robguitargod (I know that's close to his user name) showed a harwood hood not fitting well on his Camaro. The gaps were off like you have. He knows what he's doing and couldn't correct it to the gap specs the stock hood had.

Oh okay I just wanted to see if I could fix it so it wouldn't be more expensive when I get it painted
