After seeing the review for it there, I wouldn't buy it. Seems like it doesn't fit good at all.

I was thinking that too if you got to shave some to make it fit!

I have never owned a fiberglass hood but i have many friends that had them and every one of them had fitment issues. They had to either shave some off or add some fiberglass to make the gaps even close and the reason they recommend the use of hood pins is because the front edges of the hood begin to lift up at highway speed. They didn`t have the same brand hood so this one may not have the same problems. If it was made of steel i`d like to get one, That`s a good looking hood.
