Re: cowl hood
I bought a Goodmark hood and it fit just like the original.

Re: cowl hood
Mine fit pretty good without me knowing anything about aligning panels.

Re: cowl hood
I think they are all made by one place - Tri Plus. I have never heard of any fit issues.
It is a great mod IMO

Re: cowl hood
And mine fit like CRAP !
The fender / hood seams didn't come even close height wise and the front edge stood proud forward of the fender peaks by 1/2 inch with the trailing edge rubbing the cowl panel. With a new core support, the gap in front and rear of the hood ran from 1/2 inch to pinched in the rear, with the fenders and door gaps set perfect. I finally gave up and paid a body guy to do it. He had to wrap a ratcheting strap around the hood to try and squeeze some gap into the rear, it worked but I thought it was gonna kill the hood. The metal isn't nearly as thick as an original. Gapping this new metal is time consuming and required a LOT of patience. |
