Crap, The Bolts holding the hood are circles, I could move the hood forward but only 2 mm.

Theres got to be another way to move the hood forward.

take off the cover over ur rad. support...unbolt ur grille....and u'll see the 3 bolts on the latch loosen them enough so u can move the latch and just move it down some and keep messing around until u find the perfect adjustment.......Every bodypart u buy for a car needs some adjustment no matter what......the people who say they just slapped it on and it fits great i bet I could pick ur hood apart about the fitment........Working at a bodyshop u learn these things

Thanks for the hints but I have tweaked it a little and tried to get a better fit. But still have the same issues with it. To much of a curve on the drivers side. and still hits the frame first before it sits right. I am picky about my car and the way it looks (body line wise) so I still don't know. Still waiting to see what VIS has to say but I am growing tired of waiting on them....
Test fitted the wing and the drivers side is good, the passenger side will need a little work but not bad. I can't wait to get her in the shop and get the wing on....LOL.
