I just tried installing my TS style hood today and I've got some problems/questions:

1.) Do I need to install the hood stoppers and the weather stripping from the OEM hood? I tried the stoppers and they didn't seem to fit, and it looked like not all of the holes for the stripping were punched through.

2.) I wasn't able to get the hood to latch do I need to raise the latch up? Can someone describe how this is done.

3.) Do I use the bolts that came shipped with the hood or should I pick up something else? I'm at least going to get some lock washers.

Anyone who's installed this hood please give any advice.

 

send it back now and get different hood.

I had the TS-II and it clearly was hitting my factory strut bar. It didnt even come close to latching. I would say about 4in.

yes i used the bolts that came with it and yes i went to the store and got some washers.
Seibon service is **** also.

 

with all the threads about how crappy seibon hoods are why did you buy one and then ask how to make it fit?'

its not going to fit... send it back now before you cant get your money back
