I guess so. If I would have known what I know now, that is what I would have done.

The front of the hood sat about 1/16/to 1/8 of an inch below the nose facia, and when the car had been driven, and been in the sun, you could not close the hood due to the hood flexing to the point of almost folding. We would have to push the hood down at the hood brackets, while at the same time, someone pulled the hood form the rea to get it to close. It was just to flexible.
How did you or did you, fix the issue with the front being lower than the front fascia? I have the exact same problem. It is a good thing I kept my stock hood. I may be putting it back on.

Wow didnt realize several people had problems. Quite a few of these hoods sold with there being 3 GP's. Only thing I can think of is there must have been a bad batch?? can you post pics of the fitment? (not calling you a liar or anything) im just curious to see how bad it s as mine fits great. sorry to hear you guys are having problems 
I had that problem too due to it being so light and flexible. Took one of the hood struts off and and it works perfect.
I had this same problem on another car when I put on a carbon fiber trunk. Had to take off one of the tension bars because it was so light.

Well, that helped me make up my mind. Thanks for the post, looks like the money will go into the motor. 
Could you PM me the vendor just to make sure it is who I think it is?

Sucks I am glad I read this thread I was fixing to buy a hood splitter and skirts all in carbon when they became available from him. Now that i look back I winder why it is always "My manufacturer" instead of the company making the parts. This is not the first thread I have read about this but I have also read many stating how good the quality is.

Where were all these dissatisfied customers a month ago when I ordered mine. Nothing but great reviews....bla.bla.bla. WTF??? Now I have one sitting here in the box at the house and I'm pissed off that it may be a piece of crap.

See if it fits & not warped, too high/low in areas, gel coat cracks,etc.
Even if it does fit, I wouldn't be in a hurry to have it painted.
Let the sun & father time etc, have a chance at it, before spending
MORE $$ painting $$
