Hey guys what's up? I just got my new carbon fiber hood in and put it on. The only problem is it isn't level with the fenders. Also it has a larger gap on one side than the other. Anyone know how to adjust this?

i know there is a way to adjust it, just dont know how...
CF hoods never fit as good as a stock hood, but thats something most dont care about... i know i sure wouldnt :)

to line up the sides w/ the fenders you can losen up the 3 fender bolts on the top of the fender (10mm). then just push it in and re-tighten it....that should help a lil bit.

Well, you said that the hood wasn't at the right level with the fenders? meaning that the hood is vertically higher than the fenders?
I had the same problem with my fiberglass hood, and the body-shop that painted it ended up making several cuts in the fiberglass support under the hood and stretched/bent the hood into shape and re-fiberglassed it so it fit perfect. Carbon Fiber though is a different story...
