Fiberglass fenders, I presume?

You need to work on aligning them. Loosen up the bolts and pull the fender ou. I doubt you'll get 1/2 inch, so you might need to elongate the bolt holes. Does the hood line up fine on the drivers side?

ya the driver side looks fine, im worried that if i move the bolts over that far its going to crack the edge when i tighten them back down

You prob will get cracks.
I suggest getting some fiberglass resin and mat, just incase. its honestly not hard to work with if u take ur time, and mix it right.
Most all bodykits dont fit. its just the unfortunate reality lol.
get some pics and we'd be able to help you better. but if you have a little crack, it really wont be hard to fix.
I ended up having to cut my front Invader bumper right in half cause it didnt fit right, and filling in the middle. And it was my first time working with fiberglass/bondo.
just get some pics
