Before me posting on here I had emailed them, they asked for pic upon pic I did the hurdles they asked me to jump, then I got fed up w them and asked them what they would do, basically in short is its after 90 days really nothing we can do but could u please take more pics so we can figure out the problem.. Made me seem like they wanted me to help them fix their mold on my time and dime..

thats what it sounds like , they must have baked the crap out of it or something, but thats unreal, thats why people go to them ,to get the best nobody wants to do a tone of body work, and a shop would charge you up the *** to get it close to perfect ,if they ask for any more pics or what not and you want me to post them just send away, and after 90 days is bs, they can make you wait up to 8 to 9 weeks to get the hood, well i hope more people will chim in that have this hood ,

Hmm is there rOom for any more adjustment on the passenger side fender to come in? Or slightly move it towards the side with the gap and try to make it even gap on both sides to look better?

Can't adjust the fenders in that much.. It's literally 1 1/4' gap, if I even the gaps out by bringing the front of the bumper over the nose of the hood will be crooked and the rear of the hood will be way out of line..

I wonder how long it will take vfn to tell us what happened and is this how all these hoods come, like i said i know a few people that were going to go with this hood but have now had 2nd thoughts, if vfn can add anything that would be great, i could see if it was a bad batch or something but at least help with the situation, glad the camaro hoods seem to be good, again op you are a super nice guy building a work of art, i hope they realize if they fix this issue they will have a hood on a car that is in a mag every other month,seems like an easy fix to me,
