I had the same problem.I loosened the hood latch and put spacers in between the latch and radiator support so that it lowered the hood a little in the center when it was shut.I left the hood bumpers where they were so the sides of the hood didn`t drop just the middle.I got it to drop a little over a 1/4 inch safely.I didn`t want to drop it to much and risk damaging the hood.Worked out great.(posted 7858 days ago)
