Huge gap between hood and front bumper cover...
I have a gap at least one inch between my hood and the front bumper cover. I have tried adjusting the hood latch to it's lowest position but it doesn't matter, then the hood sits way below the fenders anyway.
Could this be my bumper cover has sagged or something? At first glance it looks straight but who knows. I just passed a guy whose hood and cover were nice and close so I know mine is way off.
Ideas?

Adjust bumper cover support.
Camaros with terrible hood/bumper gaps are, sadly, very common.

Not 100% for sure what all is involved with Camaros but I know it can be 99% perfect but most are to lazy to fix it correctly or trim the fiberglass hood to make them fit right.
