Step 1:
Begin by removing the hood levelers(rubber thingy). Using a dremel, clear out the area of the bottom layer where the hood leveler touches. Use the sanding bit to smooth out the hole.
Step 2:
Put tape on the top of the hood over the area where you will drill through the top layer of the hood.
Step 3:
Put some grease or other marking material on the tip of the pins. Lower the hood so that it goes through the first dremeled hole and touches the CF. This marks your first point for drilling.
Step 4:
Drill with a very small bit from the bottom to the top. Use the grease marking as you drill spot.
Step 5:
Place the scuff plate on the tape and mark your drill points.
Step 6:
Using you template, drill out the center hole. Start off with small bits and move up until the pin can fit through the hole.
Step 7:
Drill a small starter hole for attaching the scuff plate.
Step 8:
Remove the tape and witness your masterful drilling. NO CRACKS AT ALL Sand the center of the hole to make it smooth.
Step 9:
Drill down the scuff plate.
Step 10:
DROOL OVER YOUR BEAUTFUL HOOD!!!

did your pins come with the screws, because mine didn't and i get pissed every time i open my hood because i have to hold the damn plates,.............oh yeah what kind of pins do you have?, mine are rusting after 8 months they weren't cheap either....
the installer said that i shouldn't have the hood pins on the corner leveler
instead he is going to put a extender by the silver sticker that he is going to
revet on
how is ur set up working, how do u keep ur hood leveled?
do u use the rubber bumps on the middle of the chassis?
is there any way that anybody knows how to reinstall the hood lock (the little rectangle thingy on the under side of the hood) off of the factory hood and onto the cf hood?
Sand the center of the hole to make it smooth.
