Seibon cf hood questions

Is the black hood vent able to fit under the mesh? is it just a bolt on affair? and is there an installation guide for the window squirters as well?

NO the vent cannot fit. it will require modification to make it fit but is not needed so why bother. There are reports of some hoods that account for it but i think that was the earlier versions. NO intallation guide for the squirters its a pain in the *** im not going to lie to you and you might have to cut the hole alittle bigger to fit them properly to be honest

thats a impossible question to answer without being there. you will see once you try to fit them that if you edge out one side of the hole just alittle more it will slide down easier in the hole. running the hoses etc stupid easy

IF you have a dremel tool that will be a lot easier. Drilling a hole with a drill will crack the clear coat I promise you. I am on my third CF hood, all seibon.

What you need to do with the hood dremel the squirters out. Then you will run into another problem. The squiters won't sit flush with the hood and they will shoot fluid everywhere.

So the next thing you need to do is get a small brad or a nail put the squirter in and going through the bottom you will slide the nail into through the hole in the squirter.

Shoot me a PM if you don't understand. I can take a few pics.
