Pretty simple. Remove stock hood. Remove the rubber plugs in the frame at the top. Install rubber sleeves that come with the hood in the same spot on frame. Be careful, they like to push through the hole. Not a lot of lip on the sleeve to hold it there. I had to wrap electrical tape around the sleeve to tighten them in the holes . Spacers go between the hood and the sleeves. Down at the bottom, line it up and drill your plastic. Bolt them up and tighten everything at once. Really simple.

Didn't use any rubber plugs or sleeves or anything, just the hood and two factory push pins down low and a bolt and some wing nuts up top

i used to bolt the bottom of mine, but then I realized that it doesnt 'need' to be.

What happened was I put graphics on and I am scared of messing them up drilling and such. If the hood comes off, I will pick it up lol. I dont race any more so its all good.

thanks for the info guys i got it on and it looks allright. I have to use the bolts on the bottom though it gets kind of rough in some of the cross country races i do.
