what part of the hood doesn't line up right?
So has anyone had their hood not line up right? Could it just be from the car being in a front end accident before I got it? is there a fix?

Also the hood needs to have the parts which meet the strut towers notched out for an better fitment. Please check this thread below for pics

Just to share the information a Seibon unit...only thing to modify was for the radiator cap, zero cutting elsewhere on those.
Sorry bro, I thought i read some info on that page.
But heres what i did to get mine to fit little better. I had to adjust the hood it self left-right till i had about the same amount of gap on both sides. Now for the actual closing fitment, i had to trim out the exoskeleton on my CF hood to go over my strut area. If you look below at the pics jason posted, you can see where it hits on the car body and on the hood section.

On my Seibon hood, all I had to do was cut the small portion by the radiator cap.
I ended up cutting a square that would fit the entire radiator cap because I wasn't sure how much it was hitting the hood. I had to push the hood pretty hard to get it to close before I cut that portion out, so I couldn't tell if it was rubbing a little bit, or a lot.
Hope you get it right. I just recently put on a SEIBON hood. No major modifications or cutting on my hood was needed by my body shop. Take a look.
