Default CF Hood Issues...?

When I was home on leave from Iraq, I put my Seibon CF hood on. It doesn't seem to be closing properly, but it also didn't look like it was hitting anything in the engine bay. These are the only pics I have. Any ideas.....thanks in advance.



It is the same in this pic, just hard to tell.



Those wheels are for sale also by the way. Less than 200mi on wheels/tires. Put them on to ride on while I was home.

Maybe adjust the rubber stoppers? Do you have weather stripping on the CF hood? That should help out a little

Stoppers or manipulate the latch until it fits. You have to play with it a little bit before it's going to sit right. I don't know if you had any help, but when putting on a hood I would highly recommend a helping hand, maybe two.
