My NSX-R Style Hood!

[NSXEXY]

Not sure of the brand hood this is, but i just picked it up today! The fitment is not perfect but its fairly good, its fiberglass. Now all i need is a paint job. The passenger side lifts up a little bit in the front. Driver side corner is not flush. Other then that, i am happy.

Looks hot, I'd def do a little repainting. I like the black accent you have going on on the bottom of the car...

That fit does not look good at all. It's too bad that the diagonal corners are both high. It would seem to me that it would be impossible to fix that. Can you return it?

Looks like a GT-One hood.

I bought it off a member here, i am goin to keep it since it doesnt bother me too much. forsure some hood pins will help the front.

Some decent hood pins will usually bring that hood down to normal in the front. Maybe some creative adjusting will help the rear.

I have the same hood and it's a VIS.
In the front corners, on the car frame, there're one each, a black rubber stop/cushion in each corner. If you get a grinder and remove a little of the height of the one on the r/s it will allow that corner of the hood to settle down a little. Most Hondas have them that have the ability to screw in but ours don't on the NSX. It should be what's holding it up in the front, anyway that's what was happening in my case. It sorted out pretty well. My trailing edge wasn't mis-aligned so I didn't have to worry there.

different story here, that bumper cushion thing does not touch the hood at all, i can push down on that corner in the front and it goes down, it seems that the hood had been warped. i also brought down the latch assembly on the frame all the way, but no dice. it worked with my stock hood which was doin the same in that corner.

 

[DRIFTER]

If it did that with the original hood. Move the bumper up!
Most likely got pushed down when it was hit.

after looking around and tryin to compare the hood i bought with others online, i think i might have a winner. did i pick up a taitec hood? top side looks very close and the bottom side is the same all sanded down.
