Default hood fitment?
Does anyone know why a hood for a 03-06 would not fit a 07-08?
Asking because I want a cf chaser scoote hood and the listing says its for a 03-06.

it won't fit. your bulge is not for cosmetic purposes. the engine sits higher, I believe the intake manifold / plenum / strut tower brace sit too high for a normal shaped hood. I could be wrong, look at the shape of the hood, pop it open and look at your engine bay, it will make sense. I am too lazy to look it up : )
