There have been a few people that have asked me how to adjust the hood so that it shuts smooth. I have seen people play with the latches and as I told them that won't help anything. Basically your just making a poorly shutting hood match with the strike point.
First thing you need to do is remove the hood strut if you have added one until your done adjusting . This will cause it to push the hood crooked when you loosen the two bolts on each side.
The way I do it is to pop the latches and raise the hood to the slightly open position. Your hood will be laying loosly on top of the latches. Now loosen the two bolts on each side above the bolts that hold the front spoiler on. I would say 4 turns of each bolt should be enough. (Picture below). Then walk to both sides and grab the side wing of the hood and gently shake it while pushing whichever way you want the gap to move.
The gap I care most about is the gap between the hood and the windshield. You may also want to make sure the gap where the side wing meets the a pillar plastic is perfect. Once you get it like you want it. Just snug up the 4 bolts and raise and lower the hood gently to make sure nothing is hitting. If it's clear then raise it and let it drop and shut. If you like all the gaps then tighten those 4 bolts up.
Another thing you may want to adjust is the front spoiler. Those are the 4 bolts on each side right below the 2 bolts used to adjust the hood. .
