    I picked up a new hood for my 2002 wrx. Mine was dented pretty bad by the p/o. When I put the new one on it had a pretty bad gap. It seemed to line up on top(by windsheild) and get more off center further down towards the bumper. I tried adjusting the hood and the hinges a few times with no luck. anyone have any experience or helpful tips? thanks everyone!

    talking about the width between fender and hood? loosen the fender bolts and GENTLY APPLY PRESSURE to the fender to close the gap. 02-03 fenders are made of craft paper and easy to crease.

    yep the gap between the fender and hood starts out ok and gets more off center towards the front of the car. I should have mentioned my hood wont latch either so its definitely off a good bit.
