Guys don't get hasty. If your having issues with your hood, you should have ask me or the carbon shop what to do. I have installed two hoods, one on two different cars and have got all of them to latch and fit nicley. We don't even have to apply much force to latch them, almost like stock. Having said that we had to put spacers in the catch mechanism, no big deal and slightly tweak the latch on the hood. The length I thought would have been an issue, but turns out its not at all.
