How did your hood fit when you got it? I got an aftermarket hood and it doesn't line up right. I don't have any more adjustment in the hinges. The guy that made the hood told me to loosen the fender bolts and adjust the fender to the hood? ? Is this correct, or am I being told a band-aid for a poorly manufactured hood? I thought most aftermarket hoods should fit pretty good and just needed minor adjustment by the hinges.
Any help would be appreciated.
