For those who has carbon fiber hood, do you have the hood shocks install or not? My hood seems to sit kinda high where all the pressure of the hood shock is. It like 1/4 in. higher than the fender. I read from seibon carbon fiber site stating "Please note that Seibon Carbon does not suggest re-installing OEM gas hood shocks."
Hood shocks or no hood shocks?

Hood pins wouldn't do any good.. The hood close tight in the front, it is the sides (middle section) where the shocks are is giving me the 1/4 gap.
Did the trunk close and alignment perfectly with the car?
Are you using a stick to hold up your trunk?

I would recommend really low pressure shocks or blow shocks, use a hood prop. I've seen perfect fitting hoods on the G35 and 350Z warp over time from high pressure OEM shocks and from the Tein hood shocks. Best to be on the safe side.
Also, we sell the aerocatch hood pins, now with the carbon fiber pattern. I have all styles in stock.
