Ive seen it on a silver Fd looks good, but fitment on it was ***, this might be a isolated incident though cause the above pics look like they have great fitment.

hood & pins came yesterday

the quality of the hood is very nice. it looks great and the clear coat is super smooth

the fit isn't so great though. the hood seems to be a little warped. spacing is nice all around, but the front passenger corner wants to sit a little low

after installing the hood pins it aligns almost perfect. i still just need to raise the front hood bumpers a little bit to make the hood flush with the front bumper. also, we had to slightly lower the hood latch because the hood sat slightly above the front bumper.

photos to come...

It looks a bit off from where the bumper meets the front of the hood, but nothing major, other than that it looks like it fits pretty good. Are you going to paint it?
