I got one of these a couple of years ago. I never fit right. broke 2 hood bumbers trying to get it to fit. Not to mention rubbing the paint of the underside of the hood. Wouldn't have been a big deal cept mine is painted and cleared. I made it fit for shows, but I can't keep it on. Back then, John said he'd replace it. Never made good on it though. just FYI for everyone that desires this. :dead:

:mad:

Mine doesn't fit either. It's like it lines up about 3/8" off center and towards the driver's side. It doesn't fit flush to the existing radiator frame such that most of the 3M tape that holds it to the car never makes contact with anything. My hood bumpers wouldn't fit back in properly through the pre-drilled holes in the cover and the rubber "threads" of the bumpers stripped off. The result was that they stick up almost an inch higher than they did originally. the hood closed just fine, but I noticed that my hood was bulging up about 1 foot back from the front edge after about a week. I ended up having to cut most of the top of the bumper off with a knife to get rid a the bulge. Overall, I was and am not very impressed.

Not good considering that piece is 200 bucks.
