I got my new hood on today and newer hinges but now I have a huge gap on drivers side and rubbing on passenger side. The gaps are straight and all adjustment in the hinge to hood mounts are biased as far as they can to the drivers side. :hmm:

Can I tweek/bend the hinges to the drivers side with out messing anything up?

Assuming you fenders are right, I would not bend them, they always seem to bend in all the wrong places.
Try leaving the hinge to hood bolts loose then lower it. See if it changes at all.
Also try to adjust your latch. See if that changes anything.
Are your rubber aligners in the fenders?
I think you need a spoiler...that might take away from the hood being off..... j/k

I just raise the hood and shove it a few times at the hinge on the tight side, then adust the latch so it settles where it should.
