the front of the hood closes a little to close to the bumper

Even if the rubber bump stops are adjusted?

yea i mean im sure there not all the same. i tried adjusting them the best i can i moved the latch up as far as i could and the bumper down as far as i could as well. it made it a little better, i mean its not so bad but it doesn't shut so nicely i usually have to slam it and i hate it because its fiberglass.

$62 at a junk yard, now its mine

My stock bolts didnt fit either. Luckily I managed to scrape together a couple form my basement lol

Heres mine with some ugly old poo poo headlights..



I cut up some old alluminum siding in the shapes of the vents to keep snow/water out in the winter



And the underside is notched out from the previous owner, he was intercooled.

Hey guys I found some bolts that will work out. They are a 1/4x20 bolt. I had tried some bolts yesterday and none of them worked,even the 1/4x20 ones.. I took pictures of my hood (bolt threads/holes) and took them to my local body shop. The guy looked at the pics and said those appear to be 1/4 x 20 bolts. I told him I had tried these and that they didn't thread all the way in. He told me judging by the rust inside the threads that I was catching the rust and the bolt would get caught on it. The guy told me to go home and take wire brush(similar to one you'd use for a gun cleaning kit) and ream the holes out to get the rust off the threads, then take some grease and put a tiny bit on the threads of the bolt. Take the bolt and thread it into the hole by hand and when it stops take a wrench and spin the bolt in and out several times. Needless to say I did this and it worked great. I should have my hood on next Saturday sometime. I'm super stoked about this.
