pmsummer...or anyone else who may be able to help...
I received my heat shield from Way Motor Works today but I'm having a bit of an issue installing it. If you look at the pic I posted of my hood you'll notice that in the center of the back side of the scoop opening there is a metal upright in the middle of the opening. The shield has a cut-out in the middle that I assume is supposed to fit around that metal piece. The problem is, the cut-out is only about 3/4" and the upright is over 1" wide. Can you tell on the one that you had installed by the dealer how wide the upright and cut-out are? The site said that there was no cutting necessary, but that doesn't appear possible unless I am totally missing something.
