it dark out already pics dont really show what i see. but its the headlights and from the sideview it looks like the hood doesnt sit right so it sticks out a bit from the quarter panel. not smooth at all and ive heard these hoods have really good fitment

Did you buy it from Roger @ USExotics? Just send him an e-mail and he will work with the body shop to make it right.

I bought mine last month and it fits perfectly... he wants happy customers!!.

Chances are it can be adjusted. The body shop should be able to get it squared away.

Love your car, mines just like it! I just got my hood from Roger at us exotics today, all I can say is if it fits half as good as it looks I will be very happy. Nicest glass work I have ever seen!

On fitment, the fenders, headlights, etc... all can be adjusted, most like someone was too lazy to adjust anything to match. No two parts are 100% exact copies.
