Re: Audquad...
I bought a certifit B4 hood. Unbolt old hold, remove hood latch, windshield washer squirters and lines, and the hood pins.....attach hood latch, windshield washer squirters and lines, and hood pins....and bolt the new hood on!!
It really is that simple. You will have to adjust the pins so that the hood lines up with the fenders.

Re: Did you keep the original hood latch? How does that work out for you?
Yes, I kept the original hood latch from the B3 hood. It bolts right in. When you close the hood it catches just like it normally does. When you pop the hood you have to find the latch with your fingers and push it over. I'm used to it now and can find it without looking, but when I get the car inspected or something they have no idea how to get it open....cracks me up....like its got a secret button or something. 8-)

It's easy to modify the B3 center for the B4 latch
I cut out the horizontal pin that the hood latches to, popriveted in a B4 "parrots beak" catch about half way up the center rad support "channel" and bolted in a dealership ($36.00) release that pokes out my Kamei grill just like a B4 should. Slick and easy!

When installing CF hood is it necessary (i.e. wise) to remove the mechanism which holds the hood up?
