Could my fiberglass hood have warped? Hey everyone. I bought a hood from my buddy, it was pretty much new when he got it, and it fit near perfectly on his car. I went to put it on mine, and given that I don't know the first thing about fitting hoods or body panels, it just doesn't seem to line up on mine. It was on his car the night I got it and it fit perfectly. I put it on my car the next night, so it's not like it was sitting around or exposed to any unfavorable elements. Could it have warped or am I just bad at fitting hoods? For reference, my stock hood lined up perfectly, so I don't think the car's f'ed up. Thanks.

Fiberglass body panels can and do warp. Though its not likely over night. Fitting body panels can be a pita just keep at it and you will get it. When I fit my glasstek hood (which fit well on the previous car) I had to slot the holes where the hinges mounted to the car.
