Hey guys,
We were experiencing some issues with the latches on the the Contour hoods so we had a local member come by and we test fit the master plug used to create the mold as well as 3 hoods (1 OEM, 2 Cowl).
FYI, the test fit car has never been in any accidents and never had body work done.
The latches on two of them were about a ½? too far forward and we saw that it would take some adjustmnet to the grille mount to fit, so we??re going to fix that on the bottom mold. As for the rest of the hood lining up, one hood sat slightly to the left, but Dion showed us how much play there is in the latch locking mechanism both side to side and up and down, so there??s enough room to compensate for any minor adjustments. Other than that, the hoods lined up pretty close the factory lines.
Please understand that every car is a little different when it rolls off the factory line so having to make minor adjustments described above is acceptable.
The latch problem has been addressed now so there should be no more fitment issues.
Let me know if you have any questions about any of this.
thanks!
Jacob
Livinsvt, it fits awesome. I didnt have it acually bolted down so it wasn't a fare judgment on its fitment. The other issue we discussed is obviously still there but not noticeable.
