i purchased a VIS hood nearly a year ago, quick and simple it doesnt sit flush. Along the fenders as well as around the headlights. Is this common, any trimming that can sit it flush? It doesnt appear to be resting on anything, only thing i can figure, bad apple??

 

I've also removed the t bar and it still didn't sit flush. I'm guessing since no ones replied out of over 30 looks this is uncommon.

 

idk what to tell you but if you want to get ridd of the hood lmk and you can get an oem one that will line up

 

My guess is frame damage. Been wrecked before the jap conversion. Thanks for the offer but I enjoy the hood regardless. Plus I spent a fortune on it.

 

Maybe it got warped over time, or maybe the webbing/underneath is snagging on something?

Oh and fyi, "jap" is a word some people will find very offensive.

goodluck man

 

Its definitely from the crash because the headlight doesnt line up very clean and looks pushed back in a angle

Oh and to fix it either u need to pull something or mess around with adjusting the light's screws or if the the bracket is damaged u need 2 replace it

 

My apollogies about the word choosing. Too easy though, thanks for the suggestions, I'll figure something out.

 

nice rex

 

almost no carbon fiber hood fits and its not that you got a bad apple, its that the company re-uses the mold over and over again and doesnt change it eventually the mold starts to change shape (inside source from vis), i guess if you got on of the first ones it would sit better.

 

my hood does not fit that good I am going to get these.
