I got a Seibon CF cooling plate today, and I got it to fit on the car after some adjustments, however the hood will not close with it installed. Anyone have any experience with this plate or suggestions to make the hood close.

you can move the hood latch upward so it can grab the hood

it maybe the hoop in the hood hitting the plate, you can try adjusting the hood latch,thats what i did when i couldn't close my hood. just watch out u don't crack the panel.

I moved it up as much as it would go which is not much. It closes now but takes a little bit of force. Not good....
