Re: Hood wont shut completely!!!Need advice!!

did you try adjusting those rubber stoppers so the hood sits lower? or is it a problem with the latch not catching.

OEM radiators are supposed to be good I thought?

Put a fat chick up on there. Thats the best bang for your buck. She'll keep the hood down and give you more traction.

If you want hood pins, My suggestion would be Ebay Because they dont vary alot in quality and ebay is usually cheaper.

I got a carbon fiber hood for my 94 and the fitment still sucked, i installed hood pins to bring it down more flush
