I guess you don't have any hood vibration issues like this. I have a cervinis fiberglass hood which sits higher than the stock hood(even in the front). They don't even touch those stock front bumpers. But I had hood rub when I had the stock fan shroud installed so I raised my bumpers with washers lifting them up. Had to go pretty far up, look a little funny. I also figured out that helped me raise my hood a hair in the front and so it aligns better with the front bumper. I have always wondered what others did about all that... Those lines not being aligned hood/fenders/bumper drive me crazy... :zombie:
 
It has a cervinis on it . No problem with alignment At all or vibration

Thats cool. Most of my alignment issues were around the headlights. Thanks for the info.

PS: I installed a gopro under the hood and drove around. Then adjusted the bumpers up to touch the hood and the difference was amazing. Couldn't see it while driving. gopro's rock.

Same here. Three Cervini hoods and never had a problem with alignment on them.

I had posted a thread about a lazy t stat . Well I took the advice from noobz I re bled the coolant system and drove it Sunday and still no change. Checked over some stuff today and drove it and nada . Car is acting like the t stat starts to close or gets stuck half shut then re opens .

Did some reading and come to find out the stants have been known to have the issue . Ordered a new motorcraft 180 t stat . Drilled some relief holes like I did the last time to make it easy to bleed the system and always have some bypass flow . Just finished up and got home after working tonight . Will fill and burp tomorrow .

So cool out it won't even get up over 180 driving . Always ran 190-196 in this cool weather even . I think this stat has always been an issue .
