The bad thing about buying an aftermarket fiberglass hood, is that they don't have enough curve to them front to back. When I got mine, I went ahead and test fit it on the car before ever thinking about painting it. As always, it was low in the center along the fenders, so I took measurements of all the high and low spots, and had my body/paint guy add some more fiberglass to the center of the hood along the fenders, which in turn gave it more curve.
Aside from the $450 it cost for the hood, it also cost another $700 for bodywork and paint. But, once it's finally finished and on the car, it will be well worth it......especially since it's white!
I hate to give you that bad news bro, but your car looks so much better with that hood on it now. Those low spots are barely noticable in the pictures, but I understand how it goes......just knowing it's low there sucks.
