Default Everyone with the BG Ram Air kit, come inside!

I was checking out my hood and all today, and I noticed that my BG Ram Air kit is not wide enough to seal up to all of the lid. On the driver side, the edges meet, but on the passenger side, the lid opening extends maybe 3/4" out past where the BG kit stops. Anyone else notice this on theirs?

Adjust the lower air box then.

But it sits flush with the driver side, so that would only make it not seal with either side. Besides, I don't think there is enough "adjustment" to the lower air box to get it 3/4" over.

How are your hood gaps on the body? Are they tight in spots? Can the hood be shifted at all?

Mine fit's perfect. But I had a body shop install mine when they were painting my blackbird hood stripes.

The hood doesn't sit perfect, I'll look into trying messing around with a combination of stuff. Thanks for checking yours though.
