I just bought a VIS CF hood, I put the hood on and it fits fine but it wont close. So I adjusted the hood latch and even with it all the way down, the hood closes but the sides arent flush with the fenders. so the front and back are flush but the middle bows up. i dont know WTF is wrong with this ****. Anyone else have this problem?

 

That just means the hood doesn't fit right. Sorry.

 

any tools sitting on the engine?

Tweakie - who's bent the hood on a wrench once or twice....

 

hood-pins do wonders for holding down the sides of the hood couldn't tell from your post if that was the problem though -rob

 

I was trying to avoid hood pins if at all possible. I just dont know if they are all going to do this, or if this one is just made wrong.

 

any possiblity to refund?

twice? I did that once

 

Refund? Maybe depending on the company. Sometimes hood's fit better on other people's cars.

 

hood pins made my hood fit 500% better, but it still doesn't fit right

 

i had similiar problem with my jdm VIS hood. all i had to do was drill out the hood latch holes so i could slide the hood back and fourth, if you get what im saying.

BTW can someone post pics of thie hood pins?

 

Some hoods just dont fit.....i tried puttin one onn my R and hated it cause it didnt look right...OEM style
