Hood fitment problem

my friend put in some coilovers for me yesterday and he left the damn car basically on the floor (ride quality sux @ss now, not my style). anyways today i noticed theres a much bigger gap between the hood and the honda emblem when it's closed, it has some play in it now. is that normal and will it go back to how it was before if i lift it?

judging by the scrape on yer bumper and the pic of the passangers side hood gap... my guess is yer passangers side fender has been pushed up and bit and is throwin yer fitment off..

Thumbs up

naw, the scrape was there before i even got the car, all the fenders line up fine between the doors, i think it was someone at the shop tried to close the hood not noticing there was a tool in the way and it caused a pivot point. but hey thx anywayz for ur concern.
