Default stupid CF hood problem

ok im not sure if this is a prob or not but when i got my CF hood in and i put it on the gaps were alittle wider down the sides and by the headlights is this suppost to be like this? im alittle confused, where the hood meets the plastic prelude grill thing it fits fine but other than that it does not look like a perfect fit?

who makes the hood? i.e. Vis, seibon, or some cheap ebay hood? in any case, the hood is cast in a mold and made out of fiberglass.....this being said, fiberglass is prone to heat warp and thus will occasionally not line up 100% perfectly as stock....if you are worried about it go to your local autozone and buy some rubber weather stripping and line the fender wells and headlights...itll seal the area and look almost stock if done right

If you have a VIS hood, there will be a badge underneath saying so. If it's a no-name hood, then you won't see anything. Mine is a VIS Racing hood and fits almost perfect.

I had my hood shipped from California to Ontario Canada. It's a genuine VIS hood and it cost me 850$ at the time, discounted from 1600$!! It's definately well made, perfect weave. Everyone who's seen it loves it.

It's been painted over now, but the fitment itself is still great.

This is when I just installed it, with a quick adjustment



This is what it looks like currently. Fits awsome
