Need info for a accolade gt hood
hi i was woundering if anyoen here bought a gt hood from Accolade? i got one but i bought it months ago and didnt have th money to get it painted. now that i do i installed it but there seems to be a problom. eveything fits perfect but it does not close all the way down. i have to kinda force it down so i can lock up the hood pins. any one here have the same problem? feels like the back part or the hood is touchign the firewall.

^ he's actually talking about the back part of the hood near the windsheild, along the firewall.
well the bad thing is a lot of people have had horrible experiences with that hood in the past. that particular hood has horrible fitment issues. people have tried everything from trimming/shaving the hood itself to throwing it in the garbage. thats how bad some of them are. the best thing i can suggest is to take it to a body shop to see if they can give you an idea of what you can do. hopefully they'll be able to help.
