All fiberglass hoods are going to require some bodywork. I have the Trufiber venom hood and it's perfect. There are lots of other people on the site with Trufiber hoods you can talk to too.

I am guessing the pictures on that forum are just test fits. I remember seeing the same thing when the venom hood was introduced.

Note the blended edges on the sides and the larger vents at the front. Also the different nose shape between the vents. Sides of vents (closer to headlights) are flatter.

NOTE, this hood is my hood, the Trufiber Venom. I am showing it because I don't have any pics of the new GTS-4 hood, but the differences are similar. Refer to the link in my first post for pics of the real GTS-4



See how the lines are sharp along the edges, the ends of the vents have a kind of "vampire fang" look. More rounded over the top of the hood and not so flat. Vents are sleeker and nose is less pronounced
