    Hi guys, I have always noticed it but never done anything about it. On my 04 comp g it seems the hood gap is more than normal. Is this just on all 04+ grand prixs? Car has never been in accident of any kind. Car always been taken care of well.

    Any one know what this is about, google didn't help?

    It's your imagination.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    if your talking about where the top of the front bumper and the front of the hoot meet then yes, its like that. You can try to lower it by screwing down and lowering the rubber bump stops on top of the radiator support. and if that doesnt quite do it for you, get some shims and shim the bumper up a couple 1/8ths of an inch.

    Just leave it the hell alone and let all that delicious fresh air into the engine bay.

    If you can't wriggle your little O.C.D. fingers into the gap to unlatch the hood, then it's fine, normal, factory, stock, perfect.
