I bought a cheap CF hood for my 90 Civic. When I put it on the car it was bowed up along the tops of the fenders and sat too low by the headlights. I put some spacers under the low spots and drove the car all last summer. The high spots have come down and line up not to bad with the fenders. The fitment by the headlights is still bad. Is there any way to change the "curve" of the hood? Can you heat it? Cut the backside? any help on this would be great. This is NOT a show car but we all want our cars to look as good as we can make them.

 

Am I the only one that has a bad fitting hood?

...and no, it won't fit in that can.

 

A hood doesn't fit in a ******* trash can haha The only thing you can say is you get what you pay for. You probably paid under 200 for that hood eh? If not, I'm sorry to say you got jacked..

I hope your jokin if you took him literally

 

is it fiber images?

waste of $525 for me

 

I paid $300 for it and it looks like I am stuck with a bad fit. Isn't there any way to make it fit better. I know I should have bought a better hood, but isn't there some way to make this one fit a little better?

 

Should bought my hood.. I mean, we'd have to see how bad it is and where the bad fittings are first of all..

 

open the oven, take out the racks, turn the oven on, place the crooked half into the oven till its real hot, and form it to how you want it

Actually he paid 300. So there's only a little bit of truth to that. My hood = cheaper and better, but I digress.
Just try and sell it for 50 bucks to some fool on ebay and save up for a better hood.

 

where did you buy the hood from

well CF hoods are pretty much useless, unless you buy it just because it looks s00per cool, save the cash for REAL modifications. [/opinion]
