Default Do CF hoods really shrink?

I have a gap between the side of my fender and my hood and it seems it getting bigger and bigger. I'm thinking it might be my CF hood which is shrinking. Is it possible?

I heard something like this before. I guess due to age. Dont know if its true. But still I have a gap that I'm trying to live with.

Most cf hoods I've seen have about a 1 inch gap between the fenders and the side of the hood on both sides. maybe you just noticed it.

wow. you must have seen a bunch of shitty cf hoods. the best quality ones have oem fitment.

as for the gap getting bigger... is it getting smaller on the other side of the car? maybe its not bolted down tight enough to the hinges
