Exactly man. An agressive oem look lime the new vipers is what im looking foward too.

Yeah, but you can fiddle with the hood/bumper a little to try to close the gap more.
Also my bumper is old (bought my car in May 09 and have 87k DD miles), so it has taken some beatings over the years and has some little gaps. Even with my OEM hood one side was a little off.
