You pull the release inside the cabin and then move to the front of the hood. Hold the little lever to the [up] position and you can then raise it.

I meant what is it latching on, I don't see a hole for it on top of the radiator mount.

The only piece Ive installed is the hood catch. I am waiting on the first billet bracket to attach to the core support and then I can install the hood latch

That giant hole in your rear end looks like it will leak.

Edit to add, Noobz, that's for you.

Pardon my Noobness but...

How rigid is the carbon fiber piece versus an aluminum one? Will it bend and deform with the axle housing or resist like an aluminum one?

I mean... largely irrelevant at stock HP levels but I'm fairly certain that will not be the case.

You can layer the carbon to be stronger. Most of the requests I get are to make race car parts in carbon

I was looking at this post and my wife walked by and said "wow I like that color, but it's too green for you right?"... so I showed her our text messages and she was even more impressed by the flop of the color, but prefers the green side.

Thats crazy! But its my goal with any color I do. To tweak it so even if someone doesnt like a color like say red. They like my candy red. Same with this. I got blue and green on it lol
