my hood is not flush as well. no its not the latches, nor is it due to the bump stops for the hood. ive taken it to nissan and had them adjust them, but the left side has always been maybe half a centimeter higher than the right

yes...in various lighting the slightly raised left part of the hood creates a shadow, which makes the raised hood very apparent. otherwise, you can hardly tell its there so ive learned to live with it. in some lighting conditions ive been asked if my hood was completely shut, while in others it goes unseen.
