Default Carbon Fiber Hood

Just got it put it on and the holes on top are to small for the washer fluid hoses and the one underneath is to small for the thing to hold hood up. Any ideas on how to fix it? I thought I'd try sanding it. Also one side of the hood is up higher in the front then the other...

Aftermarket parts these days is it's such a hit and miss with proper fitment. Sorry to hear, best thing maybe try using a small dremel to make the holes bigger?

I agree with the dremel tool..as far as one side of the hood being up higher than the other..
it's either a bent hood..or it isnt properly adjusted
hard to tell without looking at it though

i had the same issue when i installed the SEIBON on my 09 xB...im sure it was packaged with 2 blocks (to keep it aligned in the box) that were connected to it by 4 smaller screws...you need to keep those screws and buy some big washers to make sure they hold up against the hinges yet small enough to hold the head of the small screw..that's what i had to do with mine...i don't know what kind of brand you got but mine didn't even come with a hole for the latch to go into to it...i hope i didnt confuse you...but take some pics and ill explain better....good luck!!
