Best way to align hood with fenders?
Friday, January 12, 2007 10:00 PM
I got a new hood and I spent 4 hours trying to get it to align right. Its still not perfect. Im wondering the best way to move the fenders in to make it perfect.

if you want to move the fenders in a few mm. just loosen the bolts in the top of the fender and push it inward. hold it there then tighten the bolts. that what i did when my fender was replaced, the gap was huge, but looks almost perfect now.

I have some work to do on my hood yet..... need to put some spacers under the hood hinge, or maybe between the hinge and hood. Then slide the hood forward, move the latch down. Should be good then. Might need to move the fenders in a touch to close the gap alittle as well.
