How do i remove the stock hood? Im looking at ones around $350 on eBay, vis i think. It says it has oem fit. Do i re use the parts on oem hood on carbon fiber hood?

 

Befor you buy a hood, i have one for sale from seibon
Its easy to do the swap.

 

you take out the four bolts holding it in and remove the hood. Then put said 4 bolts in new hood. Then close hood.

 

Keep up the post whoring and I'm going to delete every post for every account your Philippine a** has ever made.

to the OP, there's 4 bolts on the hinges (2 on each); take those off, pull the hood off (it's easiest with a friend), put the CF hood in place (again, a friend helps), and bolt the hinges to the hood using the stock bolts.

 

i bought my vis hood from ebay and it was warped .if i was you i would buy directly from vis or evan better seibon they have better fittment and quality products evan the smaller companies like v-fiber are better quality because there not mass produced like vis also you have to remember no matter who you by from it wont be a perfect oem fit .also vis and many others use a gel-coat clear that will fade faster in the sun.do not use carnauba wax it will absorb into the gel-coat and turn it yellow. use a gel-coat wax designed for boats 3m makes a good one. also i would definitely recommend hood pins just to be safe evan vis will tell you this.after you remove the bolts you mite need to pry it from the hinge with a screwdriver its stuck on there from some factory material .

 

You should buy SPLATs. See how much he wants for it. It's most likely better anyways.

 

hood's WITH VENTS or screens do they let water in the engine bay/touch the air filter?

Yes they let water in your engine bay. Yes it could possibly soak your filter if you have a CAI of some kind and an exposed filter. Hoods with vents on a DD car is not a good idea.

 

that's good to know.

 

Plus unless they are done right, they can look ricey.
