Hood pins......... And some 3M double sided tape in case u don't have hood pins to prevent the hood from flying into ur windshield on the freeway........

just a socket set

axngen · 03-11-2002, 10:31 PM

ok, got the socket set.....there's two bolts on each side to be removed right? that's as far as i could make out...if it's just those 4 bolts...should be a piece of cake

BoYgUaN · 03-11-2002, 10:41 PM

just 4 yep

axngen · 03-11-2002, 11:03 PM

me and my roommate plan to do the install...we should be ok working on this w/ just the 2 of us right? i'm assuming we just prop the stock hood up....and then just start removing the bolts?

i really appreciate it.. just waiting to install it when i get out of class today...can't wait

if you're looking to buy a cf hood...i'd recommend dealing w/ allen (H22ATypeS)..especially if you're in cali

pics are on the way!

JDM H22A4 · 03-12-2002, 09:08 AM

BoYgUaN · 03-12-2002, 09:53 AM

hmmm y do you have to be in so cal. imma in nor cal and me and my buddy want 1 but dn want to pay shipping.

JDM H22A4 · 03-12-2002, 11:24 AM

itll be alot cheaper if your in so cali so you dont have to worry about shipping cost..

H22ATypeS · 03-12-2002, 01:27 PM

yah usually if you guys are within a 50 mile radius from me I can basically get you a carbon fiber hood and I can meet you guys somewhere to pick it up....other then that...shipping sucks..I have no control over that.

sagaprelude · 03-12-2002, 02:08 PM

yea...i liked the look of my vis hood...but if no one buys mine..i guess imma jus have to stick with it and paint it...

Hood pins are ugly

....You just mess up a perfectly good CF hood if you put those on....

WDW · 03-12-2002, 05:16 PM

would you have to put hood pins on or will it come with a hood latch. and does the gaps on the hood look good along the head light area.

i'll post and let u know in a few hours after i put it on

axngen · 03-12-2002, 11:43 PM

well, the hood is installed and let me say it looks

the fitment is great too..i don't even see a need to really adjust it at all...and the edges are just a little further than the stock hood (that's inevitable)...
