easiest thing to do, where the latch attaches to the rad support, theres two bolts holding the striker in place. Loosen the bolts, pull the latch down, tighten them back up. My hood used to make a ton of noise/vibrate alot, did that, fits perfect.

The lower rad support has been bent upwards, this happens very easily when jacking up the car by a neophyte mechanic.
You need to remove the rad support and rad and bend the lower support downwards(I simply stepped on mine)
