Moved to the correct forum.

Should be the same as bolting in a normal bonnet!

its illegal not to have them hooked up, coz my cf bonnet didnt really have specified spots for my washer jets.. but who cares.. u dont realli need em anyways :)

and if the cf bonnet was purchased from a reputable trader.. then yes it should fit pretty well if it 100%!

The washer jets should pop down (towards the engine bay). If you can't get it done it might be a good idea to stop while you are ahead ;)

The water squirters push 'Out' from the bonnet, so from the engine bay out.

Depends what bonnet your have. Mine had holes for the squirters already, but I had to file the holes out a little.

Other than that, the new bonnet is as straight forward as bolting the new one in. Before you tighten the bolts make sure the bonnet is aligned to the guards (equal gap both sides). After that you have to align the latch at the front to adjust the hight at the front.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

Don't know what car you have, but on my Gen 3 crx the squirters push from the engine bay out. Would have thought all hondas were the same. Would of though all Manufacturers were the same, its just common sense. Seriously though its not hard to figure out by just looking at it. Take a closer look. Otherwise like Zelda said. Best get someone that has a better idea to do it for you. :thumbsup:
