Wow.. man you trippen me out. lol.
Ive got this ebay set on my B. It works, but the shocks are a bit short so it doesnt open all the way, kinda hangs low. Great for shows, but sucks if someone has to work on the car. I checked the clearance, it seems fine, maybe its the pressure you put on when u close? The box says to hold both ends of the hood and close with equal balance of pressure... hate to have that happen to my hood, would be a BIG reason to buy the CF hood now
I can see it sorta brushes the edge of the plastic in the engine bay, my installer says all he has to do is shave it a little and I should be ok. I also did notice the hood bulging a lil too.. like now there seems to be more of a gap at both ends.
