Harwood pin on cowl hood
I recently picked up a Harwood 4" pin on cowl hood that I plan to install with dzus fasteners. However, it has a 90° lip around the whole edge. I planned to trim the lip off the sides just where the dzus fasteners were, but didn't know about the front. I think it would look silly with that big lip on the front, but don't know if I should trim that whole front lip off. I feel I will loose a lot of structural strength by cutting it off. Any thoughts?

YES that lip will need to be trimmed down. pic this one is under 1/4" trimmed from 1". closed and latched.. a credit card with slide into the gap and have a slight drag.all the way across. the sides are trimmed to no more then 1/2 long..this Glastek hood I removed 1/2 from the sides and 3/4 from the front lip. came out looking like GM made it..if GM Had a costom shop
