HELP....Hood lopsided

so today, after putting in my nre stillen intake

i close my hood and notice that the drivers side site higer, i mean noticeably higher, so i tried tweaking the hood back so that side will go down for about 30 min but no luck, i felt if i tried any harder the hood would bend in half, i got it a lil bit better but it still sitts up a lil, and the passenger side is pretty flush, mabe a few mm beloew so it could go up a lil

anyways its boithering the FVCK outta mee just thinking about it in going crazy

is there any other way to tweak it back or fix this, or should i just keep twisting the hood a lil to see if it will eventually sit flush on both sides....plzzz help

Dealer will fix it under warranty. You need new hinges. It's happened to other members before, but not very often. Don't leave it or you'll jack your paint when it eventually binds with the fenders at the cowl.

Here's one thread about it:

yeah it might be that,but it opens and closes fine, and everything lines up perfect with the fender it just sticks up a lil on the drivers side, cause it gets level at the back of the hood where the hinges are
