Just got my VIS OEM cf hood today for my S13 f/b... after I installed it, the front does'nt line up! it looks like the hood is popped but it's all the way down in the latch... anyone have this prob? There's probally about 4mm of a gap between headlights and bumper and the hood. Also, from the back (windshield) it fits fine and it lines up perfect until about 2/3 the way toward the front, then the hood starts to elevate upwards and there's a 3mm gap from the fender to the hood... i'll post pics sometime tomorrow... any ideas what to do? I'm going to a shop to get hood pins installed tomorrow too cuz i dont trust this hood...

You should get hood-pins regardless on any fiberglass/ or CF hood.

Sucks to hear you have fitment issues, do you have an intake that may be pushing it up a little? Maybe the shop putting the hoodpins in can pinpoint the problem.

Good luck.
