I tried to adjust it but I always adjust the left side too much and the hood wont close. When I adjust the right side nothing seems to happen at all. Maybe i'm just doing it wrong, someone please explain.

Don't know if it will help, but was the car in an accident? Maybe the fenders are out of alignment and need to be adjusted along with the hood.

Actually, you could be right. The dealer I bought it off of said he had to replace the nose, so its a possibility. How do you adjust fenders?

From the picture it looks like the driver's side near the door has to come out about 1/8" or so. I don't have a Haynes manual handy but I think there is a bolt up near there to loosen and you can move the fender a bit. The front bumper looks like it is rubbing the hood..there is almost no gap. could try sliding the hood back toward the windshield a little bit or moving the fenders and bumper a bit forward. Seems like just moving the hood back would be alot easier. Wish I had a manual so I could be more specific, but hope this helps.

i think its mostly the front bumper, because the hood looks like the passenger's side is a little off otherwise its fine. fender gaps don't look to bad in that picture passenger side is a little big

Well I managed to move the fender back off the hood and that fixed that problem. Now I think all I need to do is move the driver's side down toward the nose and move the passenger's side toward the windshield.

Cool. Take another pic when you're done so we have a nice before/after!
