: So what I did was cut out the top portion on the two upper bolts. Not just widening the hole but totally cutting out the top part of the metal making it a U-shaped cut-out. The bottom hole didnt allow for this so I just discarded it. : Now that I had the U-shaped cut out, I pushed down the latch as far as it would go (it stops on a support bracket and cant physically go down anymore). Then I used larger diameter washers instead of the stock ones to hold in the latch now that they're u-shaped to get as much metal on metal as I could. : Now it's flawless except one side (passenger) kinda rides up a bit in the front. The hood pins will take care of that. : The sides could go down a little bit more flush with the fenders, but I'm not complaining. It's not bad at all and definitely good compared to some of the other hoods I've seen.
It's what adjusts the ride height on the wtock hoods, but I don't know if the CF hood is exactly the same on the structure. it might let you drop that corner down a tad so that you can let it ride flush.
: It's held in by 3 screws making a V shape. I figured out that they are adjustable, but by maybe 1/4" at most which isnt enough.
