did you try raising the bump rubbers on the passenger side corner?

looks like redstandard might want to try that as well. looks like the passenger side corner is slightly low.

Looks great, but I would have painted the weave or something, so you can still tell its a carbon fiber hood. I personally would get a carbon fiber hood for looks, and then for weight. I guess you just got it for the weight saving factor.

eh...A carbon fiber hood is supposed to be for weight reduction. Not for a fashion statement.

Exactly how much weight does this save? Last time I picked up my stock hood it was pretty damn light.

Why not just get a fiberglass hood if you're going to paint it though?!

My fiberimages is about 13 - 14 lbs. Stock hood is about 26lbs. Plus i opened up a whole lot of room for a bigger motor.
