Gap difference in my CF Hood....Help!!!

[Frday13]

I'm having some issues with my cf hood I just put on. On the passenger side the gap is 1/4 inch and on drivers side it's bout 1/2 inch...has anyone else had this problem? Any tricks of the trade you could let me in on? Thanks!!!!

Did you measure that? Like...1/2 inch is HUGE for that gap. Can you not loosen the bolts, reposition it, and retighten the bolts?

What hood do you have? There are some issues with some of the hoods out there.. best fitment out there is seibon, period but it's a premium... You need to adjust the hood latch over some, I had this problem in my old car... it sucked... never could totally get rid of the uneven gap(s)... But adjusting the hood latch combined with tightening it down under pressure (having friends hold it in the right position as you tighten down, helped...

Have you called the manufacturer?

I'm working on a custom glass hood, but I don't know if I can pull it off yet..... Let us know more information so we can help

just get some fur from Mike to put on the hood and no one will ever know :lol:



but on a serious note... the pass side gap is very small...like 1/8th in, and the driver's side is about a 1/4.

I retightened the hood like 4 times, trying to get it even on both sides. I had this problem with my hood, but eventually got it worked out. I even bent the hood brakes a bit twoard the driver's side, and when i bolted the hood back on, the gaps were the fucken same. it was getting dark, and i didn't want to mess with it anymore, so we called it a night. i'll give it another try one of these days.

I'm not sure what brand it is... its a hood that was givin to me in trade of my labor/knowledge hooking up a stereo and other shit.

Come on you guys!! Did you move the fenders in? I know clay is no rocket scientist

but shitt!! Loosen the fender bolts and pull fenders in towards hood!! It will take only

two fuck sticks to do it( one to lossen fender and one to push fender in), so if one of you are busy

do not hesitate to call brandon, I

am sure he is doing nothing, he will tell you how bad it looks the whole time he is

there!
