to solve your problem on the sides of the hood that you say you can see your engine bay...unbolt the tops of your fenders and move them in a lil...should close the gap....and to get rid of the wrinkles....my solution would be to primer the hood till they are gone then paint it...or if you wanna get super duper you can use some plastic/puddy and make them smooth as a babys bottem..but i do like the hoood, very nice

Both the hood side is even gap. if i adjust it to one side the other side will have a bigger gap.

Sorry to resurect this thread, but I think its the weave pattern that is "wrinkled" right? The actual surface of the hood is smooth right? Wondering cause im interested in it.

For $340 it is a great buy. With any type of curvature and design like this buddy club hood or evo, vader, cowl induction vents, it is prone to have a little wrinkle when the raw carbon material is laid. It looks wrinkled because of the carbon sheet being bunched up but the resin and clear coat on top should be pretty smooth. I'm just trying to say a $340 carbon hood can't be 100% perfect with fitment and quality. But if you compare a $1000+ Mugen carbon hood for an s2000 with this $340 vented cf hood, you can say you get what you pay for.
