You could just compare the diameter of the hole on the factory hood to a drill bit.

^ wow your CF hood doesn't already have the holes? Thats strange, a majority of the CF hoods already have them drilled. You usually just need a bit of dremel clean up to get your stock nozels to fit. I would suggest leaving them off, unless you REALLY need them. I think CF hoods without nozzles look so much better.

Ask fatty, he might know. If he knows shifters and decals, he'll surely know this . But yeah Cam, just copy and paste basically the size of the hole to the new hood. Start small and keep making it larger till it fits.

hope it's not a VIS hood.. those are the worst fitting ones i've ever seen..

also if you want to use your hood struts you probably need to drill new holes further out to keep it from flexing when you try to close your hood..
