CF Hood Warpage?
Can carbon fiber hoods warp? When I got mine it fit perfect, now it seems like it is starting to warp as the right side sits a little high, but the left is fine....
Is there any way to correct this?

Re: (turbotime)
You sure you didnt leave anything under the hood or its not hitting anything?
I suppose it could warp or get out of its original form but that would probably be due to stress on it and such.

hmm nah there's nothing under it it just seems like the right edge of the hood (while facing car) is like 1/4" higher than the qtr panel.... Yet on the left side its perfect...
Its really cold here in rochester, could that cause shrinking?

Seriously? I was thinking of doing that.. I put a cinderblock on there today (half on panel half on hood) but i could tell it would need heat or something to work.
Thanks man ill try that and let ya know how it goes, u ever done it? Would a heatgun work better than a blodryer?
