97 EX ugly gap between hood/grill
97 EX ugly gap between hood/grill
I have a ugly gap between my hood & grill. When you look at the car all you seem is a black gap. Ive tried turning the rubber bumpers the hood rest on when closed down but the hood latch will not hold the hood down enough to take the gap out. Any help?

Re: 97 EX ugly gap between hood/grill
i have the same problem and im pretty sure its due to "bumper sag" from old age. i made it a bit better by adding metal washers to the spots where the bumper clips on, to raise it up (under the upper grill and sides between the headlights).
