carbon fiber hood problem
hi i have an 03 a4 and just got a carbon fiber hood because of a minor accident that damaged my hood. its a vis oem style hood but the hood does not fit flush with the fenders and the windsheild sprayers doent fit in it either. i was wondering if anybody else has had or heard of this problem. or did i just get a messed up hood

RE: carbon fiber hood problem
post a couple pics of your dicrepency....
honestly, vis is pretty good, you usually need to drill out the washer holes and there is definately some leeway when working with the hood hinges and front latch...
if the hood looks increddibly off, you may have ended up w a defect....
if during the accident your front bumper was also hit, your fenders may have also been pushed out of alignment or damaged....
after you get a couple pics up it will be much easier to make a call....sorry to hear about your prob
