I'm running that same hood, the only problem I have is the hood hits the valve cover when it's closed but that's a problem with all vented s13 hoods from what I understand, but I love mine

yeah I noticed most people cut a hole so that part of the cover can stick through but I can't bring myself to start cutting on my $700 hood lol

Thanks for the input guys!! As long as the hood sits nice and flush with the body work, fenders and bumper thats most important for me.. my motor sits super low so valve cover clearance will not be a problem!

It's a GT1 replica bumper, GT1 is not OEM at all, it's fiberglass and its sagging because it has no support other than the zip ties that are holding it on

I just purchased one and it did not line up like yours. I had it replaced and still had the same problem. I even fitted it on another car and it did not line up in the same area around the fender. I will post pictures when am at my computer

LOL dude that's because it's hitting the valve cover lol, it has nothing to do with the batch, mine looks the exact same way, you have to cut the hood so the cover can poke through in that spot or put the spacers at the back or just deal with it like I did lol

I can see from the picture you didn't cut it in the spot it needs to be cut at, if you cut it right over the very front of the valve cover it will sit flush, people do it all the time

I actually did do the trimming after the pictures and wouldn't mind doing modifications if it would fit. I do not have any current pictures of the fitment but it was the same after the trimming. If you guys think spending $500 or $700 and having to do "some" modifications and it still might not fit is worth it then go a head. My intentions are just to give my review of the product. The other side of the hood fit fine here is a picture below.
My other hood from Extreme Dimensions fits and yes I did do minor modifications. |

That looks like a bad mold/hood, since it sits leveled with the inner side of the headlight cover but it's sits higher on the outside. That's not due to it hitting the motor because I had that issue with my d max and it fit perfect along the edges.
