So as i was going to pick one of my friends he up he brought up how my hood isn't exactly aligned, I never really noticed it.On the drivers side there is a pretty big gap between the hood and front bumper, if anyone who has dealt with this or may know a fix i'd appreciate it. I attached pics to show the difference, thanks again.

Hi, that looks definitely out of align it probably can be adjusted at the dealer to even it out; its either the hood or maybe the bumper; was the bumper hit? maybe someone parking hit it slightly and cause the bumper to shift bit or it was maybe always there and you just noticed it now, it seems like it would be a simple fix don't worry about it too much. its definitely too much of a gap on the right side compared to the left. good luck

Thanks for the reply! but i dont think it was hit, there was no sign of contact anywhere else on the bumper. I did try to look it and it seemed to be pretty common, just couldnt find an exact answer/fix. Thanks though.

It looks like someone was in there to change the kidney grills and didn't tighten the torx very well with that piece on straight. I'd loosen the T25 and T30 holding that piece and see if I could straighten it and hold it while tightening them in steps.

Looks to me the bumper needs to be pushed in a little on the right side (looking straight at the car). Measure the hood gap on the left and right to the side of the car. If the gaps are both equal, then it's the bumper. Loosen top screws and just push in enough to align, then tighten firmly. I did a bumper upgrade on my car, and this was how I aligned the front gap.

I would suggest to loose all the screws on top and push the bumper more up then retighten. Mine looked like that after i changed the grill so i had to redo it
