There are little rubber tabs that hold the hood up. They are right about the light..

Turn them right so they go in the frame alittle more. You can adjust the hight like that.

Driver side



Its only the driver side that is lop sided, passenger side is nice and tite.


It's not hittin anything here



The passenger side is fine its just has a like 1" gap on the driver side. So I put a rim on top of it to see if it'll bend back. Any help would gladly be appreciated

Thanks,
Roy

Yeah, just turn the drivers side rubber **** to lower it some until you get the height right.

I'm sorry but what rubber ****? The hood isn't hittin anything. I think I might need hood pins. Can carbon fiber bend if I left a rim on top of it for a while as weight to hold it down?

The rubber ***** on the left and right side that help adjust the hood position. But if the hood isn't touching anything then.....??I would call back the people who you got the hood from and ask for an exchange. It should fit right.

Its like 1" from that rubber thing. But when I push down on the hood it makes the whole hood even on both sides. Do you think hood pins will fix the problem?

I really know nothing but is there supposed to be that gap between your fender and front bumber/headlights?

the "gap" that you're referring to is not supposed to be THAT bad.

hood pins at the corners will solve it. this does make me wonder if the car was previously in an accident tho. i'm sure you don't wanna here that. did you make sure the hood is mounted correctly on the left side hinge?

my fiber images hood is a lil higher on the driver's side too..but it doesnt pop up like that in the front. They told me to leave the car out in the sun and put some weight on it and it will 'mold' into place. i havent done this yet, but whenever i drive the car, the hood fits better cause the engine heat allows it to flex. I hope you know what i mean.
