Carbon fiber parts from Covid boredom

[EL Snagadore]

Ok so I put the hood and fender vents on the black truck today. Here are some videos that might help. Video production is not my thing so no harsh comments. The videos may take some time to download from icloud so be patient. Thanks

Tools
Plastic Prybar
small regular screwdriver (for metal fender clips)
Clip/tab remover
Pliers
10 mm socket
residue remover (plastic razor blade and Goo Off)

installing Flare. Make sure you center the flare then push evenly, **DO NOT start at a corner first**. You will risk breaking a tab. The tabs on the stock plastic flares bend. The CF ones do not and will break.

I would love to know the pricing for the three pieces. I definitely want to swap mine out.

I would do it in sections. Hour install if your manually removing residue, 45 if you have power.

Heed vents? I see you're already 3 sheets to the wind!
