I just installed a VIS carbon fiber hood[u] with the vents and the one and only problem that I have during installation is that it doesn't lock even though it closes to proper fiitment. I concluded that maybe that the hook that's attached on the hood may be too short, which means it may not be reaching far enough into the latch in order to lock. Has anyone installed this type of hood before and encountered the same problem as I? If so, what did you do to correct it?
Thanks, nemesis -------------------- I drive a Celica. Anything "less" is just a car! |

try to fit in some washers or some way to safely extend the latch on either end. (hood/ car)
