Hood closes but not flush
Hey guys, I just purchased another GS the other day its great except for the hood not closing all the way. Previous owner said the car was jacked up from the radiator support and now it closes but not all the way down creating a gap. Im sure some of you guys have had this problem and my questions is, what would be the best way to go about fixing this? Thank you!

To put it plainly you're going to have to bend it back. I've had 2 front end collisions in my '99 GS400 (one deer, another a car that braked abruptly) and the second time the body shop had to adjust the hood. Believe it or not you can adjust it left/right but if your radiator support is bent you will have to look into it further. If it's more than you can handle yourself, I would take it to a body shop and they can do it for you. Well worth it!
