what did you TS owners have to adjust to install the TS hood for fittment?

i had to adjust the latch as well as obviously the hinges...

also did you have to use washers to make sure the screws didnt fall through the hinge holes?

let me know!\

thanks

 

mine was an easy install, just removed previous hood and installed this one and just did minor left and right adjusting. What exactly did you do to your latch....

 

the latch wouldnt clamp down so i had to lift the latch.... it has minor up and down adjustments so i had to lift it up.... i guess i just got a deffective hood haha

 

i had to modify my latch had to dremel some of the parts to get it too fit, didn't have to mess with the hinges tho

 

latch is always a problem..i had to dremel mine and take out the latch sring b/c it was hard to close

 

really eh? okay i thought i was the only one lol do any of u still find the latch tight when you close it? like u gotta push pretty hard to get the hood to close? also when u pop the hood the latch is really tight ?

 

nope took way more then that but still under an hour....

it all depends what hood u get too and the top secret hood is going to be way better as there quality control seems to be way better then seibon.... there hoods are also like twice as expensive haha

 

if i were to do it again i would say go with top secret, i pretty much paid the same after the repair and paint.

Also when closing the hood check to make sure the latch isn't touching anything check the paint inside to see if the latch scraped and dremel or adjust the latch. because i found out i didn't crack my hood from closing to hard, it actually touched the latch when it closed so it jammed up.

 

can u take a pic of what your talking about? what part of the latch are u talking about?

thanks man

 

Not with Seibon. You will need to adjust the latch!

 

It took me about 5 minutes to figure it out on how to fix it. Mine is easily closed.

I will post a picture tonight when I get a chance.

 

if i were you i would take out the latch spring..it causes us to have to push down on the hood...after time you WILL start to get cracks in the clear coat and CF...its just an experienced opinion but its your hood!! GL

 

how will it work without the spring isnt that what pushes the latch up to release the hood?

 

I had to bend the Latch and my secondary hood catcher doesn't work now... I am pretty disappointed with my seibon hood... Plus my ARC strut bar doesn't fit . Too many complaints for me...
