Didn't want to hijack the other thread so here goes
It did fit pretty well, the rear driver side sits a bit higher than I would like and the grille gap looks a bit larger than factory, but I'm still playing w aligning everything All holes (including washer sprayers) will need to be drilled/dremmeled There are some quality issues. Hopefully some with more (wet) CF part experience will come in to let me know if this is normal/acceptable. Map key 2 are seam lines 3 is minor separation 5 is minor clear/epoxy issue The rest are more spots, i attached the wrist offenders |

Ugh sucks. We get that purchasing this the quality will not as great as a hood that is twice the price. But damage and just plain manufacture mistakes are not ok.

Return it and get a real CF hood, this is not the piece of parts you want from Alibaba.

Honestly most carbon hoods I feel like have issues. Unless paying 4k plus.
