aftermarket hoods are a pain.....i would think alignment would depend on adding material instead of moving panels around .....good luck

This SLP hood has been a pain since day one.

Send it back and get a trufiber, bolted it right on. No alignment issues, didnt even need to adjust.

I’ve learned to live with alignment issues of my slp ultra z hood, for over 9 years.

I'll look into those. I've had this hood for 15 years now so there's no sending it back. I took it to a body shop to get primored and realigned and this is what I got. They said it's the best they can do .

Try Spags Collision. It's in Cypress. I've seen some of their work and it looked good!
I was there the other day and they had some badass rides. 1st Gen Camaros, 2nd Gen, Trans Am's, all kind of different cars and trucks. It didn't look like a collision shop.

Thanks for the heads up, that's not far at all from me.

Spags is in the Woodlands area not cypress. Their adjuster is a good friend of mine. Adjusting that hood is going to take quite a bit of work.

Thank you so much for the referral. True Fiber was 10 minutes from my house and this hood went on perfect.

Much better just don't like the cheap mesh used in the nostrils.
