Unhappy issue with CF Hood

Does anybody have an issue with the SEiBON carbon fiber TS style hood regarding the water spray not fitting?
The vent that seems to be where I should install the water spray is smaller then the OEM hood .

i recently installed that for my friend and we had the same problem. there's no way you can get it in there unless you glue it with adhesives.

Get some double sided 3M automotive tape. That's what I did and it held up fine.

That's the first thing I tried and it didn't hold. The one I did the holes were too big lol. So what we ended up doing was glue the whole thing on including the rubber molding.

Really? I just used the red 3M. You can get them from Home Depot for exterior/outdoor use, pretty heavy duty. I was able to pop it into a few holes, rest was held up by 3M. Dremel will always work too.

I had that problem too. I took it to a shop to get hood pins and while they did that, they made the holes bigger to fit the spray nozzles and the rest of the rubber part I used double sided tape, but it didn't hold up.

Eventually went back to stock because seibon sucks.
