DRM hood installed. PICS!!

Well I have the hood painted and installed. I have it lined up the best I can do, but Im not happy with the fitment. Hopefully this weekend I can get it looking better. I still have to get the vents snapped in the back side, but heres a few shots for ya!!!

Anyone have any tips on making this fit better?

I still want an MCM hood! This will do untill I can get one though!!!

The hood looks sharp,but that fitment is very poor!Try calling the maker or having a bodyshop look at it?

youmight be stuck with it like that. If you take it to a body shop and they add a little glass to make it line up right then you'll have to repaint it so it's probably not worth it. You should have got it right before painting unfortunately.

Hey Matt,
It looks like the hood is too high on the car. There is 4 pads that you can play around with and get the front end lower.

Nice looking hood - best of luck getting the fitment just right.

BTW, when you get the MCM hood, you will be very pleased with the finish and fit. IMO, it's the best on the market for the C5.
