I just recently installed my aftermarket hood only to find that it is awfully close to rubbing on the driver side but seems to have a few mm's of space on the passenger side. I was just wondering if it was possible to adjust the hinges where the hood mounts to the car.

The rest of the fitment is dead on, it just needs to move slightly up top.

Any help is appreciated.

Barely loosen the bolts on the side that is tight where the hood attaches to the hinge. Then nudge the hinge to the right (towards the fender) just a tad, no more than 2 mm. Then without letting the hinge slide back tighten the bolts and that should fix the problem. If for some reason the hinge wont move, have someone pull the hood away from the fender (2mm) and retighten while the hood is being held in the correct position.

Use shims

shims won't adjust a hood left or right, only up and down

have a similar issue with a extreme dimensions Vader hood. Where are the hood adjustment bolts located?

There are no "adjustment bolts" for the hood, only the four locating nuts which attach to the hood studs.
