Smile New hood work in progress

Just got my new Duraflex hood looks pretty decent. The only major issue im having with it is that the driver side of the hood is not level with the fender it's just a few mm off but just enough to irritate me. Any suggestions on fixing that? Also I want to hear opinions. I've seen other threads about this hood but no one actually bought or installed it on their car. This is not finished will paint hopefully before winter.

Did you just throw it on out of the box? It should have fiberglass work done to make it work, looks like the front is off a bit too by the bumper.

Yea it is straight out of the box. Still doing some fitting to see where I need to fix stuff. My car is currently down. Im going to do most of the body work while it is on the car just so I can keep fitment in mind. I also have have other areas to fix such as the area under the head lights, my bumper filler and slp grille which is also getting an ss badge.

I'm a sleazy spammer from China wasting your time. I copy and paste other people's posts hoping you're stupid enough to click on the links I put everywhere.

A little fiberglass work should do the trick! Plan on doing it yourself or having a shop do it?

Do you do a lot of fiberglass work?

I would honestly think about using a professional to get that hood properly aligned and prepped for paint.

he needs fiberglass work to do it correctly and make it sit right.
