I just installed mine on my 01 GT.

The hood lines up perfectly..gaps are nice and everything...it bolted right up.

My only issue is that it latches..but not "all the way"..I can push down on the hood to make it even with the fenders/closed all the way..but if I let go it pops right back up...it kinda reminds me of how when you pop the releease on the stock hood it pops up a bit. The latch is all the way closed as well..becasuse I have to pop the hood to unlatch it..

Is there some kind of adjustment that can be made? From what I see it cant..and I really dont want hood pins.

Any of guys have issues or had to make adjustments?

I've got that hood body shop installed it but did mention they had to raise/adjust the latch. Got any pics of yours? Here's mine.
