Now that sucks, buy a hood and have to tweak it to make it fit right? Thanks for the "heads up".

It does look great though...

my brother (body shop apprentice) informs me that nothing aftermarket fits "right" out of the box. skim coats on fiberglass is a given. otherwise, you get ripples.

Fiberglass allways need to be tweaked.....

Well I cant justify spending $1500 on an unpainted oem hood whenI can get one for $500 and it looks just as great as the original.

..............OH ripples with an "R" not an "N"!!!

And the oem just blows...............air onto the engine not into the air intake.

Well crap .. I was debating on the Whiteboy hoods for the Mag but now the debate is that much more ..

I'd expect some work to be needed but that looks like a lot more then it should be even for Fiberglass..

With that said it does look good aside from the mentioned issues above, keep us updated as to progress and total costs..

WOW those are some gaps!! Guess the product has gone downhill a bit, I only have one small fitment issue. The paint looks like it might have gotten better, but I would not be able to tell unless in person.







This is the unpantied but you can see that the gaps are good, I only have a dip on the front drivers side (circled area). And my paint turned out wavy.



As long as you are happy man that is all that counts!! Makes the car look way better!!!! And it is functional too!!
