Bent Hood

If I posted this in the wrong spot, forgive me, I'm new, lol.


Well, I just picked up a '94 Camaro V6. ($2,000) The car has a nice looking ground effects kit on it, and the 3 piece rear spoiler, which I quite like. It also has a custom hood, which resembles the 93-97 Competition Hood which looks really good on it. Only problem is that the hood is sitting a little crooked on the car. The drivers side is a cm up and the passenger is about a cm down. So, the question is, can this hood be salvaged?

I'll get pictures up tonight so you can see what I'm talking about. I'm just hopin I don't have to shell out $600 to get a replacement hood!

As stated by everyone else it probably just need's adjusted but check to see if your car's been hit because that'll mess it up as well.

Aww, that's harsh man. If it's gonna be an issue I can change it, but most people seem to have a sense of humor about it. (to be honest, **** is usually the issue, not the god part, lol) So yeah, if there are any issues with it, no prob, I'll re reg with a new name, if not, I'd really like to keep it, it's pretty much my name for everything

Oh, as for the hood. The lil rubber thinggys don't seem to work. I looked at it more carefully, and it looks like the hood was actually put on improperly. It sits about 1cm from where it should on the front, and as I said before it's high on the right. On the left it looks fine, but may be too close. oof. Should I just take it up to a body shop?

Finally some pics of what it looks like.

I'm pretty sure my question has been answered, etc, but I did say I'd put up pics, and I went through the trouble of trying to take em
