Default Hood alignment

Team,

Check out the attached pics. How do I adjust my hood and stop the rubbing on the passenger side?

Not yet... It's on my to do list.

I did watch the video posted above and as I imagined, it's going to be a royal pain in the a**.

I have the following in the queue:
- New engine mounts- New oxygen sensors- New belt- Wash and wax- Carpet shampoo- Hood alignment
I also need new socks. I still have the factory Bilsteins. Car is rough as hell.

Anyway, hopefully I can get the car on jacks this weekend and start the work. I'll keep you posted.

Ric

After studying those pictures, that hood looks deformed to me. Anyone else see that?
