Message Today, I installed the front TSB from Courtesy, and got the infamous fitment problem. It was hitting the hood shield, causing it to lift up the hood very slightly.

I hit it with a grinding wheel of the Dremel a bit and ground it down to where it wasn't pushing up anymore.

However, after driving around (about 30 mi), I got home and noticed that the passenger side of the hood is slightly sticking up at the top of headlight. Maybe 1/16". All I can figure is that driving it around twisted teh frame and mounts enough to make it hit again, and I didn't get enough clearance the first time around.

Its dark, I'm tired, and the neighbors would be pissed if I started grinding on it at 9:30 at night. I can probably do it tomorrow after getting home from work, but can it do any permanent damage driving it like this for about 30 more miles? It's not wearing through the hood liner, so I'm hoping that will protect it temporarily.
