I've never done anything with my hood. I was wonderign if anyone has experience with putting on a carbon fiber hood.

I just ordered mine off the GB here and am wondering if I can do it myself. I am mechanically inlclined but no where near a mechanic.

Thanks for any help.

4 bolts in obvious locations - the help of 2 friends to hold the hood as you use your 10MM socket wrench is also helpful rice
(sometimes aftermarket hood manufactures also use 11MM or 12MM bolts)

awesome Isaac, thanks alot. I saw a hood adjustment in the installs section but it didn't really specify the install of a new Carbon Fiber hood.

Can't wait to get it in. thumbsup

installing the hood is easy as hell, hoodpins are a bit tricky
