Vented Hood Purchase

Did your body shop have to shave the edges of the hood or just line up the fenders and bumper?
Are the lines and the edges of the hood correct? And not crooked lines like in the OP's pics?
From your pic it looks like yours turned out GREAT.

Your car looks awesome, but wouldnt moving fenders and bumpers cause problems. Shouldn't a 700 to 1400 dollar hood fit?

If you used an Amex and you don't get a full refund, you still might be able to dispute the charge after the fact. I have had successful challenges to Amex charges months after the transaction. Whatever you do, best of luck.

I don't know exactly what they did to get the hood to fit, I just dropped it off with them. I was told there are some adjustments built into the bumper mounts to tweak the height at the top, and used some washers under the bolts on the top of the fenders to adjust the height in different places as the curve of the hood doesn't exactly follow the curves of the fender. The gaps are pretty consistent and even.
But getting the supersonic blue to match without blending was a whole different story.
