I kinda got it. I had to drill the **** outta the hood latch mechanism, and need hood pins, but I'll get it

I have a Siebon OEM style hood and the fit is pretty near perfect. Do you have any pics of where it fits poorly? Also, I definitely recommend getting pins.

^+1 for pins. Do not rock a CF hood without them. I too would like to see the fitment issues in pictures.
