Since factory hood has two layers, you can use the outer shell attach it<img src="http://i29.tinypic.com/11lsew8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The back has locking clips, which don't really do much, and a threaded stud. I've made extra space for the clips, so I could use them still, and just a GIANT washer with a 4mm wing nut does the trick<img src="http://i28.tinypic.com/2nq4pwl.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Another thing you will have to address is that once you cut a giant hole in the middle of the hood, you lose some structural rigidity. And by some, I mean most. You can use expanding foam to restore it. What I did was masked off the areas where I was going to inject the foam, sprayed a bunch and left it overnight. In the morning, it was just as rigid as it was before I put a hole in it. Make sure that it's the high temp stuff, like fireblock.</blockquote>
