Carbon fiber hood question?

I remember that some said that the cg hoods had a gap? I was wondering where the gaps were and how bad they were. Plus does the guy pre cut the wholes for the windshield cleaners and the screws?

ok... there are gaps... if you do not remove ytour latch you cannot close the hood all of the way.. you have to remove the lock latch and use hoodpins.. the gap left up front if you do not is about an inch from your bumper / lights to the hood... if you do remove it and use pins.. thereis NO gap there..

I did have a 1/4" gap from the hood bow on each side that i used water seals rubbers to close... I have no probs with mine...

NO.. i reapeat NO holes are predrilled!!! Everything is marked, but you must drill everything out!!!! and do not think about using your stock grille.. it fits like shit!!!

the wirse do not hold it down.. they attach to the clip so you do not lose it! they are optional.. there are many many many types of hood pins available!
