Here are the sets of washers,nuts and screws I got...about 4 bucks each at lowes



washers used to hold down the bottom screw of the headlight assembly



these are tricky, but I used a washer before the tab, then a nut to hold each down except the first one. so the fender basically had 3 screws that didnt move and only the first one moved because it didnt have a nut. then I put it on the hood and placed 4 nuts on the end. This seemed like the easiest method without using clips.

Is the CF hood just the center section or have the fenders been painted?

And why get a CF hood and paint it?

You ATLEAST want to clear coat it...otherwise the gel coat greens like UKSUV...especailly in the arizona sun. so if your gonna pay to get it in the paint shop, why not add a little YOU-if-i-cation?

the fenders are not painted...i think the angle of that picture is deceiving...

just around the headlights and grill are painted silver and the entire hood is clearcoated...
