GTS style hood installed pics

There you go boys.. from RW Carbon.. yes it needs a little bit of work to be 100 percent, but given its cost it is justifiable

Looks great! Can you elaborate on what additional things did you have to do to make it work?

Look at the lines where it meets the front bumper.

Very little just to get it 100% smooth and wave free, keep in mind I'm beyond anal, it would have been fine for 90% of people

For those that mentioned the hood to bumper gap, here's a pic of it after I was 100% done with adjustments

Looks perfect now! How's the vent? Are there proper rain channels with the vent or does water just dump straight in?

Well I’m almost at 80k already on my m2c... so I’d be right there with you, but definitely don’t have time for a project like this. If it was paint and go I’d definitely be interested. Car looks great man!

Looks great! The bumper to hood gap is my biggest issue with most aftermarket hoods on this platform; you seem to have gotten it nailed down.
