Install new hood
Could someone please give me a little advice on installing my new hood. I'm not super mechanically inclined. There's already 1 screw installed in the bar thingamajig, looks like an allen nut, but how do I install into the slots? Thanks for the help.

I wonder if that was just for packaging? I would assume you would be reusing the oem bolts and its been a while but i think the bars coming out of the engine bay are threaded so you wouldn't need a nut
ps looks like you've got a battle plan for a kick *** bbq on that chalk board!

This is probably something you should have not attempted. I'd put back what was removed and send it back.

Haha, yeah that chalkboard. I run aftercare and camp on a farm and the little kids hang out in here and do homework.
Thanks for the input.

I have CF rear vents, diffuser light frames, enormous CF rear wing (can't tell, right?). and CF center console and steering wheel. I may pick up a CF roof, as well. Thing is, the hood isn't normal CF, it's Carbon Kevlar, so it's a unique weave. I'm really loving the hood. Took almost 2 months to make it.

Looks good. Can you post a few pics of your ride out in the sun?

PEMDAS, as commonly used seems a little beyond what might be needed by whomever did the rest of the "board work."

nice hood, now you need the ZR1 bumper to complete the look.
