spyder2333 is an unknown quantity at this point

listen i have a vis cf hood when you install it which is very easy 4 bolts. theres a rubber peice on both sides of the frame were the hood sits on just adjust them by turning clockwise ( you want to lower them cause the cf hood is lighter obviously) then slowly place the hood down ***never slam it down**** and push down on the hood were the latch is and youll here it lock iv drove around sometimes doing 90mph and it never flew away on me. if you have any ques just pm me....
