Well the install went fairly good but with a little more hands on than desired.
There are some subtle hole size differences that need modifying. The pictures are meant to show some of the adjustments necessary. The best approach is to measure the hole sizes on the OEM hood and then modify the SEIBON hood to accommodate the parts. The OEM sizes were made possible in the SEIBON by using a 5/16" drill and a square file. The modifications are really quite easy. Another issue is the front seal has an outer corner fastener that has no hole in the SEIBON hood to accommodate it. This issue was addressed by using some 3M glue (kind of like neoprene glue) to attach the loose ends to the bottom of the hood.
Overall though, the hood kicks and I really like the look. Recommended a purchase item with the understanding that a little hands on is necessary.
