don't just slam it down the first time it is bolted down either....it CAN catch the fender on the way down and mess up the new hood and fender....ease it down....make adjustments...the close

steezy, just get 2 of ur buddys to hold the hood and you screw in the bolts slightly snug then close it and slightly adjust it then when you have it where you want it tighten the bolts. should take no more than 15 min

^^ Exactally. Have two people hold while one person bolts it down and adjusts it. I tried doing it by myself and let me tell ya........ WOW talk about frustrating! And I never did get it straight, I ended up taking it off
