Not a fan of aftermarket hoods but that one looks ok.

One question - looks like there is a fitment issue where the corner of the hood meets the headlight (in the top left of the image below). What's being done to rectify this issue? Am I seeing it wrong? I've had this same problem with aftermarket hoods in the past (precisely why I won't deal with them any more).

I noticed that also, we readjusted it and it fits pretty good now

I live in Arizona so I never drive in the rain, they sell covers for the inside so the water won't be a problem.
