Yeah, mine are sitting in my garage waiting for me to grow the balls to start cutting holes in my hood.

The problem is that the cost of a replacement hood is more than the cost of having someone who knows what they're doing put them in.

I would say cannot be worse than putting in the SC but that was my car not yours.
If you want I will start cutting for you.

I'm absolutely convinced that only the first cut will be nerve wracking. Once you're committed it's probably a breeze.

I am in the same spot, I have them and don’t know if to do it myself. Can you guys give some tips? Like the best location on the hood? What to use to cut it? And anything else that can help. Thanks!!!

I have a spare hood to practice on. If it warms up a little bit maybe I can get EW to help document the install or if it goes terribly wrong, what not to do.

Can you tell me the distance from the leading edge of the front of the hood to the rear of the centre vent .. I have an 6 x ITB kit for my car and I suspect there won;t be clearance with the centre vent fitted BUT it would be useful to know
