Hey guys

so here are some pics, i have no idea what brand it is i got it for 250 so i wasnt in a position to complain!

tell me what you think.. i installed it quickly by myself so i didnt really take my time. what are some ways i can adjust this thing? can i bring it to a body shop?

Looks like the front bump stops need to be adjusted. Bit im looking at it on my phone

[r.bouz]

i put them all the way to the right (which makes it smaller) and it still sticks up. im pretty sure its made out of fiber glass!

Check your rear hinge adjustments, setting a hood is a PIA!!!

good luck

Any hood requires some patience and skill to get right....but many of the fiberglass aftermarket hoods are a POS....Unfortunely for you looking at your pictures I would say you got one..

Unless you have experience aligning a hood, you might just want to take it to a good body shop to do it for you. DIY is difficult if you've never done it before. The hood needs to be moved in 3 dimensions and every slight adjustment results in a changing of the X,Y and Z axis in ways that aren't predictable or intuitive.

This. There is a reason it was only $250.00. Unfortunately, any money saved will be spent on a good body man, correcting it.
Good luck, hope it works out for ya.

I've never tried to fit a hood, so all I can say is' "Good Luck!"

I have seen many posts about the fg hoods, so one thing I can say is, "Get Hood Pins!" I've seen the pics of the latch breaking out of the cheap hoods, usually at a high rate of speed. Not pretty.

Also, hood pins can help pull the corners down a little, if everything else can be lined up right.
