Default Problem w/ my JDM conversion

for some reason, it won't work even with my JDM T bracket/radiator support. Is front support sticks out more in the JDM versions?

yes the us cars the whole headlight bucket area is slightly different , it wont fit without mod, most people grind the holes bigger where the latch goes and move it forword and grind the holes in the part that bolts to the hood and move it back, with a combination of the 2 you can get it to work, or just be like me and say **** it and use hood pins

He may be going for true-jdm look...in which case he'd wanna look semi-stock...? Try using pins as last-resort. I think EF's look so much better without them. It's just cleaner and smoother unless you've got like an aftermarket CF hood and madd power and you actually track/race it... But I prefer the smoothness.

Got the hood on!! Pretty much did that move the latch forward, and move the thingy on the hood backwards. So I'm busting out the Stella, and chill back now. Thanks for the replies guys!
