What's hard about putting it on? All you should have to do is un-bolt one and bolt on the other. ??? Whats the deal?

It was a pain in the rear but we got it on...yea I'll you have to do is unbolt 4 bolts and bolt them new hood on BUt i had to line it up...was a pain...and then this CF hood has holes for the windshield wiper nozzles and the holes are too small so the stock ones won't go back in the hole..and I can't find ones with a smaller latch to fit through the hole...also I wanted to use the rubber fromt he stock hood and there are spots to snap the rubber on with the CF hood but the holes are a bit too big for the stock snaps..so I'm trying to find snaps to use to put the rubber lining shit around it. It looks nice now that's it's on but nothing seemed to go right with it....and I'll post pics as soon as I can...I dont have a digi cam right now so I need to get my pics developed. :wiggle:
