1 - Lay your hood scoop on the foam matting and place the honeycomb mesh over the hole.
2 - Place one screw through the mesh and screw it into the bottom left hole provided.
3 - Rotate the honeycomb mesh so that it covers the hole and try and screw in some more of the screws - the more the better!

4 - Start to cut the honeycomb to the shape of the hole, making sure that it overlaps the edge. Â*You may also need to cut around some of the screw holes to fit in the other screws.
Remove the old Vent

4 - If you have an RMR cold air intake skip to step 9.
5 - Close the hood slowly and check to see if the funnel fits over your air intake. Â*If it does go to step 9.
6 - Mark the funnel or guess how much will need to be removed to fit your air intake.
7 - Place your hood scoop back on the foam matting and then cut away the excess funnel with the hacksaw.
8 - Repeat steps 5 - 7 until it fits. Â*Go on to step 9.

9 - Line the mesh and the hood scoop up so that you can get the first bolt into the bottom left hand hole and screw it in loosely.
10 - Line up the mesh so that you can see the other holes and put in the bolts for them loosley.
11 - Tighten the bols with your 11mm socket on the socket screwdriver. Â*Only do them hand tight - DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN!
12 - Put back the metal circlips and the plastic screws that hold the heat shield in place.
13 - Slowly close the hood to make sure that it all fits okay.
