Seibon CF Hood/Aerocatch Latch Install

I finished all the loose ends on my hood months ago but never posted the pics and descriptions so here they are for the record and the sake of completion:

Prior to painting the hood I wanted to prep it for the weather seal and washer install. The CF hood had dimples, small indentations for drill points, so that made locating the holes easy. Nevertheless I laid out the seal and taped it into position, then marked the holes to verify the location - the dimples were all accurate.

Seal laid out:

The large circular hole near the latch is where the hood pin penetrates:

Holes all drilled:

Be sure to use a drill stop. The CF sucks the bit in as soon as it penetrates the inner layer of CF and you don't want it to continue through the outer finished layer of the hood. the finished layer, the side that's exposed, is very thin.
