hey just got my sibon vs2 hood and going to install it just had a quick question is there any specific way to do this or is simply unbolt stock hood and bolt on new hood and do the window washer sprayers..do those just pop right out? thanks

take off your spray nozzles. squeeze them from the underside and they push up/out. you can even use a flathead and press each side of the clips/tabs. do what you want with your hose. unbolt the hood. bolt the new one on but keep it loose first. adjust the gaps. tighten. you're done. should take 10 mins with a buddy, which i recommend having.

and just so you don't scratch your car, put some cloth down near the points of the hood (near the windshield).

LOL easier said then done, sat down looking at the hood off on my car for like a day trying to get out the nozzle. alot easier now that i know how to take em off

Also the nozzles may not fit so you may have to file them down.

You may need to remove the frontmost pair of hood stoppers (the little rubber guys that thread up and down). I had to, now it sits nice and tight.
