I have had this hood on my car about 2 months now and i need to adjust it to lay daown about a half inch lower. How do I adjust the hood or hood latch to fix this problem?

In the front, it bounces too since its not down tight enough.

I know on the back of the hood, the little arms that hold up the hood can be adjusted. I don't know if that would solve the hood being off position in the front though. Just loose the bolts and slide the hood a certain way and retighten.

Uh, you can lower the latch... a lot of aftermarket hoods require you to do this.



Or, you could replace the latch with hood pins, but you loose a little security when your car is parked.
