JDM hood??? What is that?
note: I believe all STs and GTs around a world has the same hood (JDM, US, Euro, CND, AUS... all...) -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)

I was thinking about getting the GT 4 hood and a usdm c-one bumper and since the bumper is fiberglass my cousin and I were gonna modify it to flush even with the hood, I think that's doable but is still pricey if you have a shop to do it. -------------------- |

loosen the hood bolts and fender bolts and adjust as mucha s you can....its really the only way
adjust and try, adjust and try, you'll get fed up/frustrated but the end result is worth it i to hate uneven gaps, but my worst is waves from a paint job--body work slackers!!! |

according to your picture, your hood doesnt look all that bad at all. i can see how there is a little more of a gap on the passanger side, but yea id go with the loosening the bolts and just tweaking it and closeing it again. an alternative would be moving the fenders in and out by loosening the bolts as well.

You need to adjust the fenders if you can, because of the front latch I dont think you can move the hood from side to side. In the back you might get away with it.

If you guys are talking about if your hood is sinking lower than your fenders, is because there are rubber adjustments, you twist it left to right to get the right height, I did that to mine cus they were sitting low, now they are pretty even. They look like circular rings on a stack. THere should be like 4 across the whole front.
