This was a butt pucker project. It took me 18 months to get this hood. 1st time it came shattered. So here we are 18 months and $1200 later and Im going to drill holes in it... it doesnt even come with a factory catch so no choice!

Drill these holes out next to your headlight tab

I missed the pics underneath but in my case you used a 2.5 hole saw so you can screw nuts on the back side. Tnen recheck your holes
