well next time you do an oil change, park your car on an empty box, not the one UPS just dropped off …

all kidding aside, i wonder if the company intentionaly made their “sale” hood extra cheap / fast, which could account for the warpage

say you have a company that does cf & FG parts, your horribly in the red, your about to close down …

why not pound out 500 hoods in no time flat … faster then you would have done 100 hoods before … and then sell them for “rock bottom” prices

instead of a hundred $300 - $500 hoods, you just sold 500 hoods for 125 each … and all you had to do was order some extra material, tell your employees to get it done no matter what, and print out a load of UPS labels b4 the truck comes around

from what i see, a little adjustment of fenders, bumpers and warp is all thats needed.

how ever with out actually seeing the thin in person there is no way to tell what exactly needs to be adjusted

all parts will have fitment issues b/c every car is diffrent, yea there all made in the same place with the same machines but there is still a varience in each body

knowing how to deal with this is how you make the stuff look good, i work at a body shop that could fix it up for yea custom collision on union and florence stop by if you want to and we could take care of it

I wouldn’t be surprised if the reason for the sale was some poor QC :shrug:

Since the 50 other morons before me posted it I might as well show how stupid everyone on this forum is by doing it too!

OMG[Z]. YOUR $200 CF HOOD DOESN’T FIT?!!??! LOL. NO WAI[Z]! THAT’S ABSURD!

I bet if you call and bitch enough you could get them to ship you a better one… THat one looks like it’s pretty far off. But I don’t know exactly where/how it’s warped from the pictures.
