CF Hood received! - Toyota Yaris Forums

I picked up the bolts today at the local hardware store. Now I am just patiently waiting to see how Garm resolved the hood latch issue. I would rather not drill the latch receiver because I don't believe that it would hold the OEM hood with it drilled. Come on Garm! Supply the picture

Drilling the receiver will not affect the ability to use the OEM hood. You are drilling the bottom of a U that rotates into a C to hold the hood down. At the very worst, the hood would be able to vibrate a tiny amount (1/16") in the the receiver when latched.

Well this is good to know...I will have to decide by later on today what I am going to do then. Thanks!
