What kind of fitment issues do people find with cf hoods other than the oem cf hood? Is there cutting or other body modification involved just to make certain cf hoods fit?

the cf hoods are made from molds so ever one is different. there are differences in the weave as well as cf is nver 100% perfect. some ebay stores sell garbage, flimsy hoods of poor quality. we have had excellent hoods come from the manufacturers we use for the hoods and trunks... the fitment is usually good as well with slight modification as with anything aftermarket. sometimes the positioning of the hood needs to be played with to get it completely straight but otherwise they have been pretty good...some of the best ones we have seen.

I am looking at the Spyder hood as a purchase in the near future. Can I understand that I should not need to do any cutting or bending to install this product?
