Default ASCD hood finally installed!

Well, after almost two years of it in my garage, it's finally on. Only issue I'm having is after I got it out of the shop, I turned on the lights for the first time and the passenger side eyelid binds on the hood and won't come up. I tried adjusting it but couldn't get it to look worth a **** without binding. I think the hood might need to be moved backwards a hair. Other than that issue that I think is minor and the shop shouldn't have overlooked that, fit is first rate. Thanks ASCD! Finally I got that agressive look, catches alot more eyes on the road and give the car lots of attitude. Here are some pics. I'll get better after I can detail her up.





I got flamed in an earlier thread for these, but I think they look tight.



And the badge too...

Take some pics in the daylight. The first two are too dark and the third one is glaring from the camera flash.

I was just curious how the allignment looks if it's hitting enough to keep the light from coming up.

Did you just get it painted and installed or has it been painted sitting in the garage?

The alignment is great, even all around. I got it painted and installed at the same time, so it was cured. It's weird how it hits, I can't seem to figure out where and why it is doing it. I fucked with it for about and hour and said I'll just take it back and let them deal with it.

You'd think they would have checked all that (headlights up and down, hood open and closed) before they gave the car back to you.

Oh well....you can't win them all I guess!
