Where did you get the hood from and how much? I've got the same hood. The fitment is excellent. However, the windshield washer nozzels also do not fit. Mine sitck up and squirt the fluid completely over the car. The dremmel tool is the best way to do without ruining the nozzels by force. How difficult was it to remove the metal mesh? How did you put the OEM one on?

Thanks.

My drivers side nozzle squirts over the car as well. I dremmeled just a little too much. Now I need to glue it down. The mesh is easy to remove just bend the wires that are holding it on.
