Default Lexus IS300 Hood

Hey CL I was wondering if there is any way to fix an IS300 hood to the point where it would look normal. Recently I had bought a IS300 and I've noticed that the hood is a bit popped up. Is there any way to make the hood normal without paying much because it bugs me at times. I'll upload pictures later if you are interested to help.

Maybe this^
Does it lock down? or pop back up. Or is it just a gap?
