It would be nice if you could show what the hood looked like WHEN you received it, not after normal wear and tear.

As an aside, some proof that you've only owned the hood for a short duration would help.

I have no vested interest in the group buy; I don't even own a B13. I'm just trying to be fair and unbiased. You don't find many reviews claiming as you have on the interwebz in other car communities.

PS - You should have taken high quality/high res photographs, zoomed out a bit as well.

There's no way for anyone looking at the pictures to determine whether the cracks in gel coat were from abuse, or normal wear. Same goes for rounded corners, etc.

Tbh with you cf parts never and i really do mean never perfect. And lets take in to account its a hood. If the temps from where you live are really cold and you turn on your car it warms up it can heat up the hood and make that ripple effect. Remember its not paint they are fibers. And it is alot more delicate. i honestly think its from heat. Maybe you have a turbo and its too close to the hood etc. Not all may experience those issues. Sorry bro. Just throwing out my .02

Yeah i know cf is never perfect but that is way off there is a huge gap on both sides so its not a matter of adjusting and to the op put some pics showing the whole hood

Damn. Yeah my CF hood definitely fits better than that. Thats a lot of space between the fender and hood. Those rounded corners would bother me as well. Idk boys...

Again I ask, was your car in a wreck of any sorts?? You seem to have avoided my question (and front end hood alignment means NOTHING as it can be adjusted)
