Well I dont have any pictures to show yet,but i will tomorrow. Anyways my hood is really flimsy not sure if its normal,thats not the problem. The problem is that when i shut the hood the flip up light get in the way when i shut the hood, When i loosened the hoods bolts on the latches to adjust to see if it helped i wasnt able to pop the hood anymore ,my lights werent getting in the way though. I know its hard to help with no pics but please try. Also there is a noticeable gap between the fender and hood on the right side. O.k. last thing, there is wires in the wheel well that is hangin a little,two were rubbing on the tire and i can see the wear on the wires to the point of seeing copper. The previous owner took the little covers off because he had 20s on it. PLEASE HELP

You can also loosen the covers on the headlights, and adjust them so they clear the hood.

If you remove the plastic headlight surrounds. There are 4 screws that attach each cover to the bucket. The holes for the screws are bigger than the shaft of the screw. If you loosen them, you can move the cover around.
