What KS hood is that? not saying its bad but is that best you could get it to fit. I got a VIS and its looking just like that. Just can't get it close enough to the bumper. Why did you use the hood pins. So far it seems like mine won't need them. Sweet looking ride man.
ps. deft hood pins for sale

The hood is from Seibon and it actually fits very nicely. The gap you're seeing looks bigger due to the angle of the pics. I used the hood pins because I don't feel it's worth the risk to not use hood pins and have the stock latch fail. $100 and hood pins VS. $1000+ and NO hood pins. Simple decision for me.
Anyways, I don't plan on keeping this hood too long. I'm in talks to have a custom hood developed for my FD and hopefully that will be the last hood for the car.
Thanks for the compliments.

Right now, everything's torn out of the car and was sent off to get polished. I should be receiving all the parts back sometime toward the end of this week. From there it's going to the rim shop to have my wheels installed, then back to the bodyshop for any adjustments to the fenders that need to be made. Then back to my shop to quickly check everything out before FINALLY having my 500R single-turbo tuned!
Oh, and a couple pictures of the wheels I'll be putting on very soon:
Questions/comments welcome
