You will have to adjust either hood fitment, headlight fitment, and bumper fitment ..or all three.

Hood fitment is easy - there are two rubber pad type fittings at the front of the hood that can be rotated to raise/lower, however in the picture the hood looks low enough to the fender line to not be an issue.

You may have to adjust the fitment of your headlights which means you'll have to remove your front bumper cover to access all the bolts. Then, once you have the headlights correctly adjusted you'll have to put the bumper cover back on and make sure it lines up with the headlights and grille.

It can be a fairly tedious and time consuming process getting everything perfect
