    I bought a 2012 challenger that was involved in a minor front end collision. Everything had been fixed before I bought it. There is a large gap between the hood and the front end for some reason. We pulled the front end off and adjusted the hood but can’t close the gap. Does anyone know if there is a different hood from a different year they could have put on this car? We just can’t figure out the problem

    You may be able to adjust it forward some.

    WONDER if the Nose Valance is tipped down causing the gap in the middle?

    Did they replace the "aluminum" hood?
