and why are you going to use a CF hood in winter; Mightas well mount R comps on your rims as well while you're at it.

There's nothing you can do about that gap dude, it's too big.

Either live with it or replace it with a better carbon fiber hood.

theres nothing you can do about the gap since you have the hood pins. i have gaps on my teg with CF hood too. ALL CF hoods will start to warp after awhile. my buddy just bought a vis CF hood and 3mths later,its starting to warp from the engine heat! either leave it the way it is or just use the stock hood. no point in buying another CF hood!

Yah...get a metal hood and paint it black!

Spend your money on worthwhile mods, like tv screens and lambo doors!
