So i picked up a cf rk sport hood and the front does not sit flush on one side is there anyway to like low heat it and put weight on it and let sit for a few days to level back out here are pics with the hood latch removed and with hood latch its even more noticeable I've tried moving the latch up and down side to side and it does make a diff and the hood levels in the engine bay do nothing as well

Used hood?

The Rookie24

Yea lol im assuming he used the hood prop from the factory hood and thats what warped it a little but with no latch it sitts almost perfect with the latch is really noticeable

Adjust the hood bumpers on the radiator support. See if it gets better. If you can't find them use google.

or get some aftermarket hood pins, preferably the flush kind. I'm pretty sure they will bring it down.

Like mentioned above, it may be hitting the rubber stopper on one side making it fit higher.

Thats the easiest place to start

i made note of that in the first post the hood bumpers don't even touch the hood all the way up

Does it sit flush when its off of the car, like on the ground?

If its warped, it will be easier to tell by placing it on a flat surface and checking the gaps.

i believe it does just ever so slightly is there any way to un warp it like heat treat it with a little pressure for several hours or something i really don't wanna do hood pins jus ruins it for me i am aware of the flush aerocatch but still am not a fan
