do it yourself its pretty damn easy. Hardest part is cutting the holes. Theres plenty of holes in the front frame, like behind the lights. Use whiteout on the pins to show the area on hood. Then use a rotory tool to cut out a big enough area for the hood to close over the pins. I used the rotory to make the top and bottom holes. Never had a use for the rotary b4 then. But glad I had it.
