i just bought a carbon fiber hood and it isn't completely flush like the stock hood, there's a tiny gap almost unnoticeable but to me i can see it. I looked to see if there was anyway to drop the hood latch assembly and there isn't. So what can i do to make it flush?

options: 1. Leave it the way it is, cool air will be forced through that gap, toyota did that with the new LFA.
2. drill lower holes to bolt the hood latch a little lower (risky doing so if its a small gap, might not work) 3. screw the hood latch, go with pins, might or might not work depending on how low it has to go. let us know how it turns out. |

Do you mean it doesnt sit flush in the front right? where the black rubbery piece runs along right?
I would say get hood pins, but if you dont want them you can always stick something under the black rubbery piece so it is raised up in whichever spots need it to be, and it will give it the illusion of being more flush -------------------- |
