For the spoiler... Measure twice, drill once

Seriously though, Can't wait to see the hood installed as maybe that will get me motivated to actually call my painter and get mine in for finishing!

Although I have not pulled my hood yet, probably a good idea to mark the hinge/mounting bolt head locations as that will streamline the alignment when installing the new one.

Wow... no templates or instructions. Hopefully someone can help out as that is not something you want to "wing".

I would contact CDC again and let them know they forgot to send them. The same thing happened to me when I bought mine. The install is pretty straightforward.
