Not to be critical, but I don't think the fit was "perfect"with the stock hinges. If the back and side gaps are correct, you can only move the hood front and back. If you skew it the other gaps will suffer. Maybe it is an illusion, but in the drivers side picture the stripes line up. In the pass. side picture, they do not. That has nothing to do with the hinges. I have feeling you are looking more closely at these areas since you put the new hinges and maybe did not pay as close attention before. JMO, but pictures may be deceiving. Good luck! Hang in there.
