Hood & Headlight Gap...

I was wondering what is the hood gap between the edge of the hood and the top of teh headlights... cause i installed my new headlights.. and the gap seems bigger...

Plus the idiots who designed the projectors had no idea of what the US civics are like i assume.. the freakin' metal bracket is in the way of the turn signal bulbs fitting correctly

I have it too. It's on the passenger side headlight. I think it's a factory defect, since I've seen it on another bone stock civic.

the rubber bumpers that the hood rests on are threaded...turn them to adjust the height up or down...doin this eliminated my gaps

I have 1/8" gap between hood and headlights, and same for between hood and bumper. Some adjustments can be made, but you still want the hood to be flush where it meets the fenders. In other words, the hood and the fenders should be flat and even with each other.
