Installing VIS CF hood tonight, any suggestions??? - Honda Prelude Forum

I picked up a VIS CF hood when I went on a roadtrip to california and I was wondering if you all had any suggestions before I put it on. From the looks of it the holes are already drilled for the trim around the headlights, but none for the center trim piece. Anyway what's the best way to pull off the trim on the stock hood without damaging anything. And any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

IIRC there's a thread in the FAQ that'll help you out a lot....basically, use a screwdriver to push the clips out of the holes....I didn't put in the center rubber piece or even my windshield washer nozzles yet :

Stock trim? It all just 'came off' for me.

the pieces around the head lights are a bish so i just ordered new ones so i can keep a set on my stock hood. the center molding i took off with a pair of curved needle nose pliers

well it's on and I was able to attach all of the trim, but the holes for the washer nozzles were a royal pain in the ass. Pics will be up soon, hopefully sooner than later
