Looks like the hood is warped...?? Maybe??

Park it in the sun for a couple days then relook at it and adjust the fit of the hood. Either the hinge to the car or the hinge to the hood. Should have some adjustability in there. Also lubricate the hinge to make sure it is opening and closing all the way and is not bound up or bent.

thats what defenetly i think it is, i read thru the internet searcing for some answer and i read that run the car for like 30 minutes till the engine gets really hot and a very hot sunny day, leave the car put side and put like a pile of books on the side that is up with a blanket on top of it to retain the heat and that would get it warped to normal.

what you guys think of that idea?

that actually works. i had to do it to fix th c/f hood on my gsr. the only difference was that i used 25lbs barbell weights.
