Default car its down

well i picked up my mach 1 grill delete and when i finished the installation i turn on the car and i notice a ticking noise, so i drove around the block to check if the noise will get loud as i step on the car, nothing happen until i was trying to park the car in the house when suddenly a big misfire and a little black smoke came from the hood. sounds like a lift might have gone bad,i haveto open it up to see if something else was damage, hoping for the best.
