Default Gap between bumper & hood

I have a 1996 CE Vette and the gap between the front bumper and the hood looks a little wide. Does anyone know if you can adjust the front bumper to decrease the gap between the front bumper and the hood? If so, how do you make this adjustment?

Thanks

How much time you got?
Bumper cover is fitted to crash support which is mounted to frame.Shims on the mounting studs adjust position of crash support.
Can see top stud on frame in front of hood hinge.
PITA to get at and 2 man job; one to hold and one to shim.
Possibly move hood further forward to close gap?
