So i just installed the evo stlye hood made out of fiberglass and the fitment is not great.....i did my research.. and here is what i did
shaved the side of the hood where the strut will hit.
removed the radaitor cap but didnt cause any rubbing
i lined up everything but still doesnt fit well on the passenger side
i had to move up the latch about half an inch in order to have the hood securely closed...didnt want it to fly up in my windsheild...
trimed the sides..ohh yea where the nuts touch the car i thought it was rubbing so i went to town

driver side:fitment not bad

passenger side: the worst..gap

i might have to put a hood pin to keep it down alittle...really dont like hood pins looks cheesy but if i press on the hood it lessens the gap...
HOOD found it at my local pick n pull.. it was crack it some places but nothing bondo and elbow grease couldnt fixed...
ANYBODY with helpful information are welcome
your help is very much appreciated.....THANKS
