Picked up these hood vents. Install looks straight forward. Ive never used a rivet gun before. Any pointers for a noob like me? Measure twice and cut once. Did people just cut into the templates they gave?

thank you.
Lay out the templates and tape down. Use a Sharpie to trace the pattern. Remove the patterns and mask off the hood. Then happy cutting. In a couple of areas. You will be cutting through the hood frame too.

Makes me a bit nervous to cut into the hood but I will give it a go and take my time.
