In Reply to: Okay CF hood is on... posted by James on October 01, 2002 at 15:25:51:
: It's also got Fiber Images in the top of the hood in the middle right down in the front of the windshield kinda. : Only problem is the fit. It lines up perfect and everything, only the latch wont let it come down flush in the front. : There's about an inch in between the hood and the grille/lights, and in return some space in between the hood and the fenders (vertically). : Is there anyway to get the latch to catch lower down? That's the only hold up here. If I can make it latch about an inch lower then I'm good to go. : I'm almost tempted to just cut off that latch (the U-shaped metal thing) on the underside of the hood. Then the hood will be able to sit flush and use just the hood pins to keep it down. : Thoughts?
unbolt it from the frame..dremel slots on the latch so it widens the hold. then bolt it back in..but just a tad lower since you turned the holes to ovals. that should do it.
any more then you need to really get to work.
: First of all the quality/finish is superb. Got a nice little metal plaque thingy on the underside that says Fiber Images and some number (serial number?).
