seibon ts hood fitment

hey guys, i recently pulled the trigger on the seibon ts hood. i was wondering if for those of you who have/had the ts hood, were there any fitment issues? i did a couple searches and saw some members who have had gaps in the front where the latch spring is and where some dont have them at all. any help would be appreciated. thanks!

the screws where it attaches near the windshield take 5 mins to adjust the height so it sits correctly.

the front gap can be completely eliminated if you take out the hood latch/spring. The reason I didn't take it out, is that with the spring removed, you need a second person to open the hood.

all in all the fitment is really pretty good and just needs some small tweeks that take maybe 10 minutes

You could cut the spring if you wanted to shorten it

All Seibon parts fit the same. Crappy eBay parts is where you get differing fitments on each one
