I ordered a carbon fiber gt4 hood for my 94 gt with a swap but having problems getting it to fit do I have to do any modifications to the latch and it seems to have about a one inch gap in the front against my stock gt bumper any suggestions?

I don't want to throw out name of business but I ordered online it definitely is not wrapped and does need latch and has the one inch gap, and I did ask if they was sure I didn't need any modifications of course they said no it will fit ..... Which it does fit just not properly.

Which it does fit just not properly. was it andysautosport.com because thats where i got my CF hood. and yea it'll fit but without the GT4 bumper you will have that gap. IMO seibon makes the best CF hoods, i've had mine for over a year now and it still looks the same way it did on day 1 QUOTE (CELL_PROTOTYPE_X @ Jan 20, 2013 - 9:13 AM) It's my understanding that the seibon hood should fit our cars with the non gt4 front end. I haven't seen a gt4 specific seibon hood before but maybe it exists. Where did you buy the hood? Maybe someone wrapped a gt4 hood in carbon and sold it to you as a seibon... Also, I believe it's recommended to use hood pins with the seibon hood if that's what you actually got. seibon does make a GT4 CF hood and yes please use hood pins!! -------------------- I only want to be faster than the guy next to me.
