Post Fender Alignment

Put a new aftermarket hood on the Z this week and there seems to be more gap between the sides of the hood and the fender. More so than the stock hood. Is there any way to adjust the fender as to push it in closer to the hood??

To pull it in you'll need to shim the fenders, you can do it one of two ways.
You can get washers of various thicknesses to put between the fender and the body, this will pull the fender in to the desired amount, or you can use real shims(looks like C-clips), they make it a little easier because you don't have to take the bolt out to install them, just lossen it.
You could also go ghetto and stick a piece of plastic inbetween the fender and the body to pull it out, but it doesn't look as good.
