Fitment is "good"

Not amazing, but good.

The sides of the hood next to the fender are about a 1/4 of an inch too far from the fenders... you only notice it from up close... and the upper left bolts might have been placed sliiiightly out of place to where the hood is sliiiightly angled.. im talking like a mm off... once again.. cant notice unless nit picking.. (like i do)

I tried removing the plastic that is covering the vents in the hood while I was waiting for the tow truck.. removed the screws and the plastic wont budge... I think it is sealed on there... Im going to call and find out...

the plastic that is there rubs on the top of the plenum and the strut tower bar... so shutting the hood is scary...

When I get my lower radiator hose, I will see what I can do about the hood closing better...

All pieces are made by VS... (i think... atleast thats where they came from)...

The CF on the Nismo Kit is a tighter weave then the hood...

the color is the same.. the weave is just different...

did I screw up by getting this hood?

Im not sure... rims will be $1850 from me and you can get them powder coated...

but it comes down to a quailty thing... the place I use does a set every other week for me... no bubbles or antyhing in the coat...

do some reasearch.. make sure you do flat black.. if it is not.. it doesnt look to hot..
