Title: Hood Fitment to Cowl Photo
Post by: maximushuntermus on August 04, 2014, 11:24:59 PM: My hood is not fitting well at all to my cowl, going to have to do some bending. Would very much appreciate it if someone could post a couple photos that show the body to hood gap that I should shoot for. A photo across the top and maybe one side shot should suffice. Thanks in advance for your help.
