Why not use a Dremel to shave the hood some to fit your nozzles?

Yea, I had a CF hood for about 12 hours. Tried to shave it down with a file, but decided that new squirters were a better idea. The hood did not flow on my car, so I got rid of it.

I have the CF seibon w/ the hood scoop. I shaved down the holes. Even cheaper than the new $5 nozzles. You have to know what youre doing though or you might make it look crappy

I dunno, dude, I'd just spend the 5 bucks and not worry about screwing up the hood.

Nice! Someone who isn't scared to do a little modifying to their car...

Certain things aren't worth it. CF can split or crack easily if you're not super careful. I'd hate to see someone have to get their brand new hood re-cleared instead of either modifying the nozzle or getting a new one.
