In the pics the latch is no where near the loop on the hood. So drop pop and lock it. B)

I had the same issue, had to grind down the bottom of the U part where the hood latch slides down. Same symptom, fit Gords car but not mine.... after I used a chisel (since its sharp and flat) to just grind out the U a little deeper it fit fine.

Hope photo helps.

Yes it is normal....
And why i got rid of both my Cf hoods.... lol
It's not that i was worried it would break or fly off, i just found it very distracting
Now i find with the Cervini's when the temp drops a bit outside it cools down the cabin inside at highway speeds :blink:
