Default Hood seems out of place...

My 93 GT's hood has been bugging me.. I thought it was just because one hood stopper? or brace? (rubber piece the hood sits on) is missing.. but that didn't fix it... so now i'm worried my front end is messed up or soemthing... it doesn't look like it was wrecked but it may have been... any opinions? is this normal? It hangs about .5 inch over the pass. side headlight... and is flush with the drivers... but sticks out about .5 inch in the front (hanging over the line the bumper makes...) ... any help is appreciated..

It seems to me like something in the fender hardware is loose or mabye shotty body work. I bought a 86 and found out later that even with a clear title it had major front end damage and had to replace the entire front clip. If you have a local school teaching body work they my do the work for free minus the required parts and or paint.

Yes, it does appeat you front is out of alignment. You may need to modify the hinges, i.e enlarging the hinge holes, to get a proper alignment. I know I am anal, and that would drive me crazy. When I got my new hood, I had the body shop enlarge the hing eholes to get a near perfect fit.
