hood over lapping

[pupildel]

ok so awhile back my 93 lx hood got mess up by some idiot on I-4 in orlando so i went to the local jy and got a hood but it was a 91 now i jus notice that the left front part of the hood over laps the left headlight and some of the grille but it lines up perfect on the right headlight

does anyone knows how i can fix this

Play with the alignment. All 90-93 hoods are the same, so if it doesn't fit correctly, it's because 1) it's not aligned properly, or 2) the metal that holds the headlight is bent.


Also, please remove or resize your signature. It is far too large.

i have played with alignment and all the hood closes fine and all but it jus over laps it at the left head light

thanks for the head up on the signature and is the signature better now?

[deevergote]

Yeah, the signature is good now.

When your first hood got messed up, was it because someone hit you?

yea but i went under the back bumper of a new jeep which was higher than my hood

i got hit in my parking lot at work and my hood does the same but also overlaps the driver fender by an 1/8 inch bc it bent my frame. might want to look into that!

Yeah, things were bent. You're going to need to pull everything back into place, if possible. That's really best left to a body shop.

I have the same problem on the pass side light, and my problem is where the headlights bolts on is bent and out of shape.

[pupildel]

oh ok thanks for the help

If all that was damaged was your hood everything should be good but it Could have messed up your core support.
Adjust the hinges where they bolt to the hood and where they bolt to the car. Post some pix of your core support.
If your hood lines up with the fender up where it meets the windsheild then chances are your core support is pushed back therefor your headlight and grille are pushed back.
