Default Re: Hood-liner replacement

I have the original product, (before Duque). It was easy enough to install, but you will need a helper to remove and then reinstall the hood. It is heavy, so I needed the help of the guy next door, my wife could never have managed this. I laid the hood on a couple of wooden horses draped with a thick blanket. When reinstalling the hood back there was no problem with alignment. My hood liner has been on for about ten years and looks as good as the day installed. Perhaps the picture is generic on the Duque website or they are making the pad larger now, but mine fits entirely inside those clips on the sides and the back edge of the hood so there is no cut out as shown in the picture on the linked website. It helps also when you glue the pad to have a helper. I glued mine and laid it down by myself. My install is not real tight up against all areas of the hood. As I installed, the new pad would raise up from the flat of the hood along the length of the reinforcement ribs and it will stretch on you as you lay it down so another set of hands will help. The pads look really good. I may buy another for my SRT6 should my original start to droop down. Here is a picture of mine installed from a few years back:
