What size wrench or socket bolts do I need, any other useful tools or tips you could tell me? I want to buy a used CF hoiod to ensure a good fit but no one has one for sale....Ill end up buying it new for around $700 shipped Pics in this thread would be cool to! I'm buying it this week if I can't find a used one and hopefulyl will get here next week so ill be prepared for this install!

 

You will need a 10mm socket wrench. Before you tighten the (4) bolts all the way, adjust the gaps equally on both sides by pulling the hood to one side or the other. Then there are (4) rubber bump stops in the engine bay that you can twist for height adjustment. You most likely wont be able to drop the hood shut anymore, so lower it into the latch then push it down with the palms of both hands directly over the latch. Good luck!

 

bumper stops, pics? thanks man, eveery piece of advice will help! can this be a one person job?

 

nah, unless you have some sort of hoist. my hood is lite as sh1t but you need someone on the other side to help you balance the hood when you screw it in, unless you are like 7 foot tall. but if you were 7ft, you wouldn't fit in the S.

 

The bumper stops are the rubber mounds on each side of the engine bay, near the shock towers. You can't miss them. They are threaded on the bottom.
I have mine pretty high so it keeps the CF as tight as possible, but not all the way to not push it up over the fenders. You may also need to adjust the hood latch up/down, it depends, but again this easy.
I think when you get the hood and start working, you'll realize it's pretty simple. If I were in town, I'd help you for sure. Good luck!
