can anyone help me out.. i need help on how to adjust my CF hood... the fitment is pretty shitty, and there is about a 3/4 inch gap on one side, and no gap on the other...and the hood is almost like arched, and it rises up too far... more than the fenders... help plz??

 

what kind of hood is it?

 

its a VIS CF OEM hood so the quality is good... but the alignment is horrible

 

my vis fits perfectly (altho there are imperfections in it) just spend some more time working with it you'll get it

 

Who makes the highest quality with the best fit? I was looking into getting one...

 

lose the latch and get some pins.

 

i have pins, and teh latch works too... but i think imma need to move around the hinges...or drill some new holes..... <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Broken Devil &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Who makes the highest quality with the best fit?

VIS is usually really good.. cant go wrong... them or seibon..

 

^^Thats going to make it very hard to adjust.

 

my VIS fits perfect. With the latch, it was higher up on one side. Barely but enough to bug me.

 

so u removed the latch, and now the fitment is betteR???

 

mine unbolts from the hood. I just took that off. Not the one attatched to the car. I put it back on sometimes. It is only a little higher on the pass side by a few cm's but it bothers me a lot without it it's perfect

I thought all of the new VIS hoods had a detatchable latch

 

yeah , they all have a detachable latch, mine does too.. ill take that off and see if i can get it to change..

 

Yeah- i bought a VIS also - it fits damn well.....a tad bit high where it meets the fenders - but nothing hood pins won't fix.

 

My hood is a JSP and mine fits exactily the same. I think im gonna drill the holes out bigger on the hinges so i can move the hood side to side a bit and get equal fender gap on both sides. Mine also sticks up on the passenger side, but hood pins should solve that.

 

Mine suffers from the same thing, Im surprised though since I thought a VIS hood would be perfect fit, as mine is some unknown brand that I bought off some dude for 50 bucks

Hood pins will definetly help shape it, and just give it some time to "warp" in. Ive noticed my hood gap is slowly getting better. Im thinking about leaveing some weight on it overnight to see if that will help.

Ill report what happens, hopefully I wont end up just bending it even worse.
