Default Hood fitment question

I recently installed an OEM 991.1 RS hood on my 991.2 gt3. Everything fits great except that the edges of the hood (towards the windshield) seem to be slightly raised.







I've adjusted the hood quite a bit and all the gaps seem even but i can't seem to get the corners to sit any lower.

Curious if anyone's come across this before and if there's something I'm missing perhaps

Yep. I have the same issue with mine after I installed a .1 RS hood. I chalked it up as being normal.

Ah damn I guess it is expected then. Thanks for confirming! (Beautiful car btw)

i put a OEM GT2RS Weissach hood on my 991.1 GT3 and had no issues with fitment. Have you tried adjusting the rear hood latch? i’m sure there should be some adjustment room there.

By rear latch, do you mean the rear hinges towards the windshield? I've adjusted those and the hood latch quite a bit and was able to get it to sit a tad lower but still does stick up a little. I'll mess around with it a bit more and report back if it gets better 👍.

It's almost as if the corners don't "curve" in as much since everything else seems to line up fine
