The Hood Adjuster Bumper Kit is an OE-style restoration component set designed for 1974–1981 Chevrolet Camaro and 1973–1981 Pontiac Firebird models. This 4-piece kit restores the factory hood adjustment contact points used to support the hood, control hood height, and maintain consistent panel gaps along the front sheet metal. It is a critical detail for classic muscle car restoration parts projects where proper hood alignment and factory-correct fit are essential.
From the factory, GM F-Body vehicles relied on hood adjuster bumpers to fine-tune hood positioning while preventing metal-to-metal contact between the hood and surrounding body structure. Over time, original bumpers commonly harden, crack, flatten, or go missing altogether. When these bumpers are worn or absent, hood alignment can suffer, leading to uneven gaps, vibration, or unwanted contact with fenders and core support areas. Replacing the bumpers restores the original adjustment points and helps reestablish correct hood fit and appearance.
Manufactured as OE-style reproductions, these hood adjuster bumpers are designed to match original factory dimensions, material characteristics, and adjustment profiles. Each bumper fits the original mounting location, allowing proper hood height adjustment as intended by GM. Their construction supports stable hood positioning while maintaining a factory-style underhood appearance.
This kit includes four bumpers, providing complete coverage for the applicable hood adjustment locations on second-generation F-Body platforms. It is well-suited for full restorations, front-end rebuilds, or detail-correct refinishing projects where correct hood alignment hardware is required.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, this hood adjuster bumper kit is a third-party OE-style replacement selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and application accuracy. X-Parts provide dependable solutions when AMD all-new tooling components are not required, while still supporting factory-correct restorations.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
