Default Any info would be appreciated

Anyone know of a good paint shop near Morgantown WV? My car needs a paint job something awful. Also maybe someone can give me some tips on how to fix my hood. Its an aftermarket ram air style (came on the car when I bought it) and it doesn't seem to fit down by the drivers side headlight. Someone told me the only way to fix it was to have it cut and re-fiber glassed but if I have to go that rout I figure I would be better off buying an oem. Any help would be appreciated.

I am sure you have already tried this but, have you tried to lower the bump stop under that section of the hood?

yeah the bump stop is all the way down. I thought maybe it was the hose from the air unit but I moved that and still nothing.

You might be able to adjust the headlight cover up a tad to help make it a little less noticeable. How does it fit on the driver side at the hinge?

It seems to fit fine everywhere else. Just that one corner

I know this one time, it may just be because of the quality of the fiberglass kit (I don't know if this holds true to all fiberglass), but I had a set of lights like the ones in the attached picture I was using because I needed the lighting and what I came to realize was the section of the fiberglass fender they where pointing at had begun sagging, the lights had heated the fiberglass to the point it had some pliability.

Basically put some heat to the corner for a while and see if you can get it to drop down.

Haha that's almost tempting. I think i'm going to try heating it up here in a week or so once I can get it back in a garage.
