How to install hood fins?
Hi all, my hood fins arrived this afternoon. I took them out to the car to try and fit them..they have hooks on the bottom that look like they should snap into the grills holes but they dont atleast I wasn't able to get them in. It seems like it will require a lot of force and I'm afraid the edges will scratch the hood while I'm trying to get it snapped in.
Any ideas? I bought the ones from Performance Parts.

those fins are not good. They dont have the rubber underneath to seperate them from the bonet paint and the metal fin itself.
go ebay.de to find different ones. Personally I'd throw them out.
