while nothing fits like OEM, i was able to get it very acceptable and got the factory latches and seal all on there great.
Yeah, that is why it's better if the person coming to get it has a truck... the fitment on this hood was spot on, and it does really seem like Seibon is doing a much better job with quality. I heard that they have their own factory now compared to having another factory make it for them in the past.
