My new AIT hood did have an adjustable striker therefore we just had to loosen both bolts & extend out the striker to make it as long as my OEM striker. The new hood would not latch the 1st time around due to the striker being a good inch to an inch & a half shorter than my OEM striker. We also had to move my OEM factory latch system up just slightly so that it could make contact with the built in striker latch on my new hood. We made some small adjustments with my OEM hinges in order to make both sides flush with little to no gaps. The adjustments that we made were minor as again it was nearly a perfect fit right out of the box.
2005 COBALT SS SUPERCHARGED INSTALL
The hood was super easy to install by bolting it to my OEM hinges. I purchased a nice adjustable hood prop from eBay that works well. My new hood was nearly a perfect fit right out of the box! We did remove my OEM hydrolic hood prop before installing my new CF hood since the OEM prop would have been to stiff for my new cf hood. I am so happy with my new AIT R1 racing functional cooling carbon fiber hood for my 2005 Chevy Cobalt SS/SC! My new hood was shipped all the way from CA to my techs shop here in Ohio & while the box did have some fork lift punctures in it my hood was in perfect condition due to the good packaging job by AIT & CARiD.
