ok i am posting this to save someone from what i went thru....i had bought a vented carbon fiber hood a few months back but decided to wait to install it since winter season here sucks and well, i was in no big rush.......the hood is nice and looks great and was expensive and i am thinking it should be an extremely easy task.....NOT!

the latch bracket that locks your hood in place was all wrong i had to have the hooks moved about two inches over by a machine shop....then i had to A LOT of drilling and grinding with the dremel to make it fit right......after all that ....not counting the machine shop work the fitment i did at home took about 2 hours....LOTS of drilling and dremeling....anyways let it be a lesson unless your willing to go through all that BS get yours from a place that test fits....like GTP....the only reason i didn't get mine from GTP was i liked this style better....one of these days i will take new pictures
