Step 1 – As a safety precaution - Remove the hood from your vehicle
before drilling or cutting. First, open the hood and prop open. Then
disconnect the Hood Release cable from the latch mechanism bracket.
You may need to bend the bracket forward slightly to gain access to
unhook the cable. Now using the 13mm socket you can unbolt the four
bolts from the hood hinges. The hood should now be free to remove.
Step 2 – Once the hood is removed, place the hood on a flat, solid
work area. To prevent potential scratching you may want to use
painters tape and mask off the areas on the hood that the template
comes in contact with that will not be covered by the hood louver
panels. The center area is generally where you want to tape.
Step 3 –Position the steel template so that the top edge of the template is in line
with the top edge of the hood and the notches in the top and bottom of
the template align with the center rib that runs down the center of the
hood. (See Figure 1)
