I understand that company's will have some run's of product that don't turn out great but I have to also question how bad it really was, I don't think I would take to much stock in the opinion of a guy that would do all sort's of work without test fitting, and then grind the inner so the hinges fit? didn't they fit from the factory? I am sure they did, so why wouldn't you redo the hood instead? and then who takes a chunk of wood and beats the firewall down? LOL, wow, again, why wouldn't you just redo the hood? I have to wonder how the rest of this guy's car is put together, scary. They are not returning your calls because you are one of those guy's that can not be made happy, I deal with your kind on a daily basis, it's frustrating
