Thanks got it home today before the storms. I really like the hood, glad some of you all do. I cannot decide on hood pins or not. I may post pics of both and let you all help me decide.

I played with the fit of the hood. You can press down on the passenger side to make it fit the fender, but it will not stay. I have removed the bumpers, no luck.

I am using CDC struts on my hood. Could that be my problem? it was not a problem with my stock hood, so why now? \

It is almost like it was warped???? on that side. I doubt that is the problem, it must be an adjustment somewhere.

Help

How hight is it from the fender? Can you adjst the fender to level it out?
Is it just one side or on both?
If your body shop cant fix it...you might want to contact Cervinis, might be factory defects. This is common with fiberglass hood.

I took the pics from the side that is not as high. I even tried to lower it by removing the cdc struts, no luck. I guess it is warped or something.

Crap.......

I am overall happy with it, and at shows, the hood is up anyway.

can you drop the hood pin on that side to pull it down?

Absolutely perfect - that hood should be optional from the factory...

traffic142

No on the pin. The rise in in the middle of the passenger side. No way to pull it down.

Thanks

guess next step is to get hold of Cervinis and let them know of the problem and see what they can do to fix it.

You might try and adjust the bump stop on that side so the front is high. then with the car in the sun it may help flaten out the hood. If yours is like mine it is fresh off the mold and will warp a little if it isnt kept flat during the full cure.

Got it fixed ( I did try your suggestion) read my other post on how I got it to work.

Lost my CDC struts though, anyone want a set, cheap

Looks great!! I was thinking of getting the same kind for my grabber. Is a screen really needed for the intake on this hood?

My06Stang

Did your struts look like this. I have this kind and was hoping to use them.

traffic142

yes I did have those struts


I think Cervini will need to add them, it would keep the bug spatter in the engine area down some.

Here are the after shots since you saw the before above.
