Unhappy Installed Terminator front bumper, hood won't close

Got it installed, was excited, but the clearance on the Termi bumper is different, and now my damn hood won't close. What adjustments can I make to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help.

I know I have seen this topic on here before but don't remember where. Something about mounting further back or different holes being made, I honestly don't remember. But I do know it's on here if ya search around a litte bit. Some one should chime in

you're supposed to push the two vertical posts back about an inch or so and then drill new holes in the header panel

I have the cobra bumper too, and my hood would close but it rubs on the bumper everytime I shut the hood and I can't stand it. Its taking the paint off the top of the bumper. Im taking it back to my body shop guy soon to have him adjust it more. Ill ask him what he does to fix the rubbing.

hes right you have to push the vertical part on the bumper back as much as possible then use a marker mark where the hole is then drill the new hole where you marked it and your set!!

I was gonna do the same, but just decided to go the extra mile & get the hood to match.
