Default Need help ASAP regarding CF hood install

I'm installing the Seibon Type-TS hood right now, and I took the OEM hood off. The studs that the nuts go on are attached to the hood. The Seibon hood just has holes in the factory placement, but nothing else. Anybody know how I am supposed to attach the hood then with no thread to put the nut on..?

Did it come with any hardware?

I wish I could help you man, but all the hoods I sell come with the hardware...

I wasnt aware they are still making this hood for the Z33?

It actually was supposed to come with it, but did not. I just finished putting the hood on. For anybody else that has this problem with a Seibon hood, it's an M8 1.25"x20mm bolt. You'll need 4 of them. They didn't have any at Home Depot so I used M8 1.25"x25mm and put 3 washers on each bolt...worked fine.

Where did you get your Seibon TS hood?
I was thinking that the Seibon stopped the production of this hood.
and Can you tell me how much you paid for it?
Thanks

I got it from David from 350zforums.org

I think Seibon has at least one more in stock, and I think they just got a new batch. I've heard Seibon takes forever to ship, luckily David had one in stock.

I can't discuss the price, but contact him and see what he can do for you. Tell him Dave from ActiveTuning sent ya

i ended up doing almost the exact same thing. i did find the correct bolts at home depot though ... but they were hex. i used these with lock washers and it worked just fine.
