Just got the VIS invader style hood, it doesnt fit too bad, but on the drivers side there is like a finger space between the hood and the fender. Is there anyway to adjust the hood or the latches to be able to move it over? I'll get a pic of it later. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Loosen the bolts on the hood latches where it's bolted to the car. Move them a little at a time in the direction that you need the same amount on each side.
 
The problem is that there is little if ANY adjustablility with stock hood latches. My VIS fit perfect. My old knock-off on the other hand didn't. I got a dremal and a good bit and elongated the holes on the hinge where it attches to the hood. I little goes a long way so be careful.
