hood on its way

RE: hood on its way
Guru LOL, I just like to play.
Here's what you want to do:
Take the underside blanket cover off the OEM hood.
Pull the windshield wash squirt hoses from the OEM squirt heads and thread it out of the hood, you can leave the metal holding pins on the hood hinge if the hose isn’t in the way. It’s a barbed nipple on the squirt head where the hose attaches so you may have to pull hard. You’ll reuse the hose.
Take off OEM hood, 4 bolts (2 on each side, 13mm socket).
Prior to putting the RAMAir hood on install the squirt heads that should be included w/the hood. It’s a lot easier to do this while the hood is off.
Bolt on the RAMAir hood and test the fit. You’ll probably need to play w/it a bit to get the fit just right. You might have to pop off the two plastic pieces on either side of the hood latch to adjust the latch (2 bolts, 13mm). Just pull up on those plastic pieces and they will come out.
Thread the OEM squirt hose through the hole in the hood closest to the passenger side.
Attach the hose to the squirt heads; there isn’t much room so this is the fun step . Unless you have extremely small hands you will need a pair of pliers to push the hose onto the barbed squirt head nipple. Lube the hose prior to inserting onto the barb. You will probably have to blindly work the pliers towards the tip of the hose and pinch just a little and push.
Good luck and as always… looking forward to seeing the pics of the finished mod!
