Just wondering if anyone noticed the hood alignment on your Hellcat , I know that they are made out of aluminum , one side has a little more space than the other one,does anyone else have that problem ?

My trunk is a little off. Was going to bring mine back to the dealer
yes I have a much bigger gap on the drivers side about quarter inch wide but on the pass side its nearly tight plus the hood sticks up over the fender a bit on the drivers side. Going to take back to the dealer to see if it can be realigned
I had a similar issue. Dealer was able to make it less of a problem, but not perfect.
Why not perfect? Wtf?
Even on my Viper there were areas that weren't perfect. People used to tell me that Dodge is notorious for that
Gee great. .....
still not gonna rethink that Z06 YET
At least you have a hood.
Stuck in VON HELL

Another guy stuck damn!
I know a guy named Von...... hate that ****er now and it's all Dodge's fault
No -lol. I'm happy with it. Gonna try and get it aligned though
I've made my choice. I'm happy with it. It I what it is... GREAT! I'll get a Z06 next.
Hey pal, I have the same issue (same corner) with my hood alignment. Were you able to gets yours worked out? If so, what did you do? Thanks man.
My passenger side is a little high compared to the driver side. Just the opposite from FC. The hood gap is even (distance to the front clip)
Not sure anything can be done about it. Anyone had success with the dealer fixing this?

Yes; even my dealer has made tweaks. There are hood adjustment knobs in the front that work like big rubber pressure screws.
You want the driver side to go down some? Turn the passenger knob counter clockwise a turn (raising it up) and the driver side clockwise a turn (down). Give it a day to settle. Repeat as necessary. Do not be suprised if one of the screws is up significant;y higher than the other.
And don't remove the rear hood seal. This will cause even more (temporary) wonkiness.
The hood is a living thing, that never stops moving, especially above 75-80 mph and then expands to let trapped underhood air out.
Other than being really pretty, the hood is a piece of shit, and I will internet wrassle anyone who says otherwise.

For height, just adjust the rubber bumper up/down as required
The gap is easily adjustable as well, although it may not be perfect if fender alignment is off
