I ordered a carbon fiber gt4 hood for my 94 gt with a swap but having problems getting it to fit do I have to do any modifications to the latch and it seems to have about a one inch gap in the front against my stock gt bumper any suggestions?

I don't want to throw out name of business but I ordered online it definitely is not wrapped and does need latch and has the one inch gap, and I did ask if they was sure I didn't need any modifications of course they said no it will fit ..... Which it does fit just not properly.

was it andysautosport.com because thats where i got my CF hood. and yea it'll fit but without the GT4 bumper you will have that gap. IMO seibon makes the best CF hoods, i've had mine for over a year now and it still looks the same way it did on day 1

It's my understanding that the seibon hood should fit our cars with the non gt4 front end. I haven't seen a gt4 specific seibon hood before but maybe it exists. Where did you buy the hood? Maybe someone wrapped a gt4 hood in carbon and sold it to you as a seibon...

Also, I believe it's recommended to use hood pins with the seibon hood if that's what you actually got.


seibon does make a GT4 CF hood and yes please use hood pins!!
