VRS Cooling Bonnet Installation

Took my time on this one to get it right. Overall very smooth installation. I would rate fitment 9.9 out of 10. Best fitting carbon piece I have installed on any car. Not 10 out 10 only due to a minor flat spot along the nose of the hood. Hard to detect, but should be corrected when I go in for paint. Sort of shocked at how well everything fit really. I was expecting to have to massage the installation a bit as I have seen this with others. Either I got lucky, or VRS put some extra love/time into this piece

Seeing it on the car in raw carbon is very cool. Ultimately I will be painting, so I took a bunch pictures to capture the look

Pros:

• Mounting locations were identical to OE
• No adjustments needed at the hinges
• No adjustments needed at the latches
• No adjustments needed at the catch
• Gaps were identical to OE
• Arcs/Curves identical to OE

Cons:

• All threads needed to have resin and other materials worked out of them (good idea to clean all threads before installation )
• Very minor flat spot at the nose (seems to be from how it was sitting in the box, easy fix during paint)
