good way to adjust a hood?

[someotherguy]

Fiberglass? Good luck man.

The front is off more and you would normally adjust it down simply by turning in the little bumpers on each end of the core support, but it's also got an apparent upwards warp where only the edges are too high; from what I can see it's flush with your grille except at the ends.

I would send that **** back.

Or, maybe...maybe it's shoving up like that because you haven't adjusted the bumpers down yet and they're forcing it up at the ends?

I bought it used. It did fit great on his truck. I wonder if you can flex the hood into place.

I hate to say, but that is why autobody shops get paid good money to install parts like this.

To fix the height at the rear, the hood hinges would have to be bent to have the hood sit lower. Is it fiberglass?

Yes

I think the center at the front is a bit too low, and causing the sides to be high as well. Perhaps try adjusting your hood latch some so the hood sits higher, and adjust the rubber bumpers on the sides down.

Yes, that is what I had to do to mine to get the fit rite.

If you gently put pressure on the front of the hood does it go down in place? Not crazy pressure but does it go down and then spring back up? If so you might be able to put hood pins to hold it down in place.
