What I did to fix it was enlarge the hole on the bracket with the step drill bit they included. Then put a little paint on it to protect it from corrosion, and fit like a champ.

Realigning the hood would've messed up my stripes, and to my eye, my hood looks aligned just fine.
Drilling the bracket with the included bit was my thought as well. My hood lines up good with even gaps, didn't want to mess that up.

Ran it into the menu at Sonic. I was pulling in and started sneezing hard. I slammed on the brake but it was too late. I wasn't quite straight and hit the pole. The headlamp can be buffed. The bumper can be fixed, but the fender is aluminum. I am a bodyman. I don't think I can fix the fender. I can't stud pull it. So I guess we will be blending the door too.
That is one of the most misfortunately comical things one could come up with. I admit I laughed, but inside I feel bad for you.

Yea, it's the best way, IMO. Redline will claim up and down all day that it's an alignment issue with your hood, but just adjusting their tolerances would fix the issue.

I'm the same way, my hood has no obvious uneven gaps. If it is, it's only off slightly. I wasn't going to mess with it.

Pony was getting dirty so I hit it with some CG products and have her looking good again.

That looks great! I didn't go all the way down the front and back with my stripes, but looking at yours I wish I had. May have to fix that.
