I ran into problems with a gap on the left side of my jdmshit cf hood..
Wanted to see if anyone had any ideas as to remedy this gap..





As you can see the gap starts at the bottom left side of the hood.. Is there anyway to cure this? The right side fits flush and there is hardly any gap..

JDMshit.com sells quality equipment and has a great reputation among users of this site.

Have you tried adjusting your hood stops at the bottom? I know my hood fit pretty poorly until my brother pointed out that someone had fucked with my hood stop. Fixed it in about 10 seconds. Before freaking out, I'd look into that. Also, it's not the easiest thing in the world to align a hood correctly on the first try. Play with the bolts and such and see if you can make a constructive change.

Good luck.

yeah i thought the hood was a perfect fit from what i have heard

I don't know why people say JDMshit has a good rep. I bought some spoon replica mirrors and they fit like crap, theres 3 screws to screw the mirrors on well you have to force the screws holes to line up because they were so off. And my friend bought a replica spoon duckbill and it stuck up almost an inch above the roof of the car it wasnt even close to being flush. Maybe you should try to return the hood and get a full carbon fiber hood from jdmhondaparts... I've heard their hoods have fit fine.

Mine did that ...Have you pushed it back then try and re tighten it ?

compared to my VIS, my friends jdmshit is as it reads. But for the price you cant beat it. You get what u pay for i guess.

i agree with adjusting the hood stops..trying adjusting them to make the hood flush or somewhat level and perhaps look into putting some small shims between your hood attachment bolts and the hinges near the windshield..i had to use 1 small shim per side (between hood and latch on bolt closest to winshield) to make my hood fit perfectly. mind you, it's not a jdmshit hood. good luck bro.

I agree. Everything I've ever gotten from them has been perfect, and I'll be placing the order for my hood very soon. Just PM Newman and I'm sure he'll help you out.

hood pins?

kingSfit

yea go buy some hood pins to lock them down

mildly.interesting

yup i put the pins on mine and cranked that **** down...

justinh595

mine did the same thing but not quite that bad. i emailed newman from jdmshit and he said to try to adjust it the best i can and if that doesn't help to use a stack of books when the weather gets warmer and it should take better form. i must say though for the money i can't complain.

thanks guys for the advice.

Where are these hood stops that you guys speak of?

and yes I do plan on getting hood pins..

plusONE jboy

Also I have no complaints with my purchase, so this thread is not nocking jdmshit at all.. I have just run out of ideas in trying to adjust this..

hood stops, Its those little black rubber bump thing next to you corner lights and fender, you should see it its black and its a rubber piece sticking up ar each corner of the hood where your corner light meets.

To adjust your hood down twist the hood stops the the right

To adjust your hood up twist the hood stops to the left

hopefully i helped some

I tried adjusting the hood stops.. Still nothing, I even tried taking out the hood stop for that side, still nothing.

If anyone has any more suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated!

maybe adj. ur hood latch, loosing up all the bolts on your hood latch and you can adj, them up and down. make sure not too low it might bust your headlights. i found out the hard way with my stock damn hood!!!

Rev-Olution

try readjusting the hood like others said. loosen the bold on drivers side (side sticking up) and put some weight on the hood so that the side sits flush, or close, and tight the bolts again....see if that helps...

The hood latch on the hood, or the latch on the car?
