So I bought a 2g spyder and the hood will not latch, it sits on the fenders and it'll reach the first part of latching but it won't close completely, I've tried moving the latch upwards and it doesn't do anything, I've removed the bumper and i can see any damages. The hood is brand new so that rules out the hood. Any idea what would cause this?

Why did you replace the hood?

The hood might not be installed correctly, there is room to slide the hood forward on the mounting bolts on the hinge

The latch could be damaged from the damage to the other hood
I replaced the hood cause, due to the other one being white with a giant scorpion on it LOL, I've doubled checked the hood being installed it is indeed correct. I've replaced the hinges and it still sits the same, could it be that someone or something pushed down the front support beam?
