Help with lining up front end

[IIv SHaDoW vII]

So a buddy of mine pointed out that my hood doesnt line up with the headlights and bumper on one side but is perfect on the other. Is there a way to adjust one of these components to fix that problem.. If there is a screw to adjust the headlight or hood please let me know..before I take apart the whole front end trying to reallign it.. I did notice the little rubber things that can twist, but I adjusted all 4 of them with NO change in the way it sat so I guess its not for adjusting?.. Just by looking at it..the hood doesnt meet the fender so I would think its the fender, or hood that needs adjusting but the headlight seems to sit lower too.. so maybe theres a way to adjust one to make them all look better? thanks everyone

As for the hood - it is held on by brackets near the cowl (the black plastic piece at the base of the windshield). You'll need to adjust where it seats from there. Undo the bolts a bit and try and slide it to where you want it and then carefully tighten them back down.

Your headlights should have 4 bolts holding them to the body. One on top, one on the underside (going from the front to the back of the headlight, not up and down), and then two in the corner of the headlight nearest the fender. These two are the hardest to get to and see. If your headlights don't move or flop around when you push on them, you probably have all the bolts.

And yes, those rubber things are for the hood to rest on, not to adjust anything.

Thanks and I think your right on track with me, I was messing around today under the hood and figured that was my only option. I havent done it yet but I am going to do it tomorrow..err today. I noticed that the hood is a slight bit (1/3in.) behind the fender line, as the other side is perfectly lined. Thanks again for your help.
