ok look at the gap on the driver side of the car between the hood and grill=lights, i was thinking i would loosen all the bumper supports on that side and just pound the bagiebies out of it form the bottom and hope it will fit better. any better ideas??

I have the same problem on my 95. There is a huge gap on the passenger side, and it fits nice and snug on the drivers side and I have no idea why. I've adjusted it so many times, and to no avail. Anyone have a suggestion?

hmm, has it always been like that or is it something that just happned. without knowing too much about the car i cant really answer whats going on. have you been in an accident or did you do the 97-98 conversion? I have a 97 and its never done that...

my hood sat a little high on the drivers side until i took out the stock plastic intake moulding that rests right under the hood there. now its all sits flat. maybe that'll help?

thats what it kinda looks like to me, the headlights, grill and bumper look straight. does the hood and driver side fender meet up flush? it kinda looks like something is up with the hood, it looks like something is stuck under it or maybe the drivers side bracket/hinge is messed up??? Either way it goes i hope you can get it straightend out. Very odd.
