Here is are the details with links to the products. The process of uninstalling the grey hood and the black hood wings took the longest. After removing the black wing panels (used Painter) video. I used an "Dremel like" cutting tool/wheel. To separate the two areas. Came back and cleaned it up with a box knife and smooth file. Did this on both sides - the removable hood piece and the piece that stays in place. Installed the pieces back and used black calking around the edge of the black hood wings. That gave it a finished factory look. Turning my attention to the hood piece that is removable, I did the same trimmed and filed smooth the edges down both sides. Finished it off with automotive trim that is around door seals. Another nice finished look and it will not scratch the "in place hood" when you install it back and forth.
Added the pin lock...this took some time as I had to be super accurate - I measured it 6 times and used the supplied template.
I recommend you watching these videos...its priceless in getting it done without damage to your SS

Several ways to do the hood attachments - but I choose these. Pretty simple installation.

Extra bands because these can break over time:

Please note that you can also use very small bungee cords with the small ball. These will not break and may last longer.

Next, as an added security I added these pins that go underneath hood to ensure the hood will not come flying off at 1000 mph HEHEHEhehehe

These go in the holes that are no longer being used..... in Painters video he shows you the 4 screws down the side that must be removed ...I used two of those holes on each side to help ensure it stays on.
After all of that... I started to work on the Grill "Look". About a year ago @WraithSS showed me how to do the front grill using wood pattern as a mold and bending and stretching the Alum. Grill around it to form practically any shape you want. I applied the same process to this.
Page Error 404 - customcargrills at Custom Grills has a great deal of grill patterns...pick one at an affordable price!!

And the Wrap... WraithSS...handled. The Wrap was a pain in the Azz. The angles on the hood are crazy and it takes a lot of time. You may get a crease or bubble here or there but the overall look is VERY good and worth the time.
All in all about 13 hours of work - but I broke it up over two days with WraithSS help.
And as you all can tell I am an Amazon shopper....Need stock in this place!
