the hood on the car is freakin tiny...how hard is it to make a decent mold and make a perfect fit hood. seriously. for me it'd take some time...i'm compulsive and have no idea what i'm doin with CF or FG. but i guarantee that if i made a mold it'd be perfect and would have perfect fit.

i also understand that every car isnt the same. but then again that's where mass production and the hood bumpers come in...and the mounting bolts as well.
i traded garm some custom shirts for this hood. my costs are minimal and i got it expecting it to be a project :)
