The 2nd picture should be rotated counter clockwise 90. The hood is not against the rubber bumpers, the right side is nicely aligned. The left side is about 1/8" higher than it should be. Relative to the headlight and the bumper. The most common solutions I found were the bumper and the stops. I dont think adjusting the bumper is the solution, and adjustable stops would only push it up higher. Any thoughts on how to get the one corner of the hood lower, vertically closer to the ground, if that makes sense. Its like the hood is twisted. Thanks in advance.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

You know the hood bumper stops are adjustable? They rotate by turning them either in or out. Perhaps turn (rotate) them in a bit.
I saw that, thanks. unscrewing them only provides support to push the hood up higher. I am trying to get it slightly lower. The passenger side is aligned correctly, so I dont want to push that up in the hopes of pushing the drivers side down. The latch works fine, so I dont think that is it.
I had the same exact issue with my hood. I loosened the bolts where the hinges of the hood connect to the hood, and played around with the slight adjustment those allow, and was able to get my gap to be perfect on both sides.
Thanks, ill give that a go, was trying to avoid making a biggger mess.
Alternatively, if it is indeed the rubber bumpstop that is limiting the hood from sitting where it needs to be, you could always use shave a little off the top of the rubber stop.
Seems to be a straight out alignment issue after some panels have been removed. May and may not be as the result of accident damage. Likely to be either a totally incompetent body shop or the alignment of the front end is out and the existing panel adjustment can't cope with the difference. Porsche in general leave the factory with good panel fit so this isn't reflective of the brand.
