Can someone measure a few gaps on their 98-02 firebird?

[Muttled]

Hey guys

I deer'd my car, and I'm putting the pieces back together as it was considered a total, so a lot of the work I'm doing myself.

With that said, I put a new hood on the top, and have totally new headlight assemblies as well. There is a gap between where the hood ends in the front and the headlight covers/bumper. Can someone measure the gap between the hood and the headlight covers on their car so I can re-drill the mounting brackets in order to make everything line up?

Thanks!

Aren't there several set-screws on the under-side of the headlight covers to adjust their position?

There are, but the actual hood itself needs to be moved forward (it's an aftermarket superhawk hood) so I was curious how far the headlight covers generally are from the hood.

This isn't precise, but I just checked mine with a pack of matches...
The narrow end where the match cover closes barely/tightly squeezes into the opening...hope that helps!

Great, at least that gives me an idea.

Thanks!
