In the Gen 1 version, based on how much rake you put on the front grill, you may need to trim the side panels. I placed as much rake as possible on it and needed to cut a slice out of the side panels. Get the grill in and work your hood, then work the sides. Work to what you like best and then adjust from there.
You can see what I had encountered in my build thread (Black & Copper) but here are a couple pics of the side panel modification I ended up doing due to the pronounced angle of the grill.
