Just bought a GT4 hood but it doesn't quite fit properly in the centre. The hood bulges where as my GT bumper is flat leaving a 1.5 inch gap between the bumper and hood edge - however above the headlights the hood is flush!
Is there a fix for this or do I need to get a GT4 bumper? Not a bad thing as I was going to do it anyway and then get a lip for it. ta! --------------------  |

yes you would need a GT-Four bumper to match the bulge.

some people like the bulge. (ie death) it's kinda like a hood scoop
 you could either modify your bumper or hood, get a gt4 bumper, or just leave the gap. --------------------  Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;) |

If you do not like the gap I have seen 3 solutions so far:
- just buying GT-four bumper (OEM or any aftermarket) - modify hood (yes I really have seen it on some Russian forum) - modify bumper (my way  see my profile)
-------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)

IIRC, the st205 bumper is the only one to fit the GT4 hood w/o modification.

then it would be just that. A replica.
Hell, i can clone parts, but it will never have original mold quality. (although my work is pretty damn close  )

Cool thanks for the onfo guys!!! I know its sounds dumb but I totally didn't even thinka bout it when I bought it, lukily I got it for a bargain £100 in the same colour as the car with minor stone chips, just needs a wash and wax!!!
Ive sourced a cheap GT4 bumper too and then Im just going to modify that a little with the grill and add a lower lip - should look nice in the end!! Just like this:
