Just got a seibon o.e.m stlye carbon fiber hood, it came without the vent in the hood and was wondering if anyone knew how to take the vent out of my stock hood and swap it over?

It's really easy to remove your hood vent. Just pop up your hood and undo the screws holding it in place and pop out the few clips and there you go! O0

Sorry i should have been more specific yes the hood vent is easy to remove i am having trouble with the black mesh above it and the rubber piece that holds it in ! O0

I don't understand. You should be able to just grab hold of it and lift the black mesh and rubber part off if you removed the screws and clips. :?

The mesh and the rubber around it are one piece and will stick to the hood the first time you remove it. Just be careful it doesn't pop off and land somewhere it shouldn't. My wife, racingchick, and I have had our hood mesh off several times so we could paint it, on both evos. Hope this helps.
