Nope, Measured 3 or 4 times and cut with hood on. 4 1/2" Grinder w/ cutoff wheel. My advice tape up hood well and measure, remeasure, and remeasure again.

 

very good advice

 

Didn't remove my hood either, just taped, measured, measured, measured, measured, and then measured again before cutting. I also covered the engine with old cardboard and towels, and the windscreen with a damp towel.

If you are using a cut-off wheel, don't go through too far or you'll start cutting things like hood release cables and stuff that are just underneath the hood.

Nice and slow is the order of the day and you'll be fine.

 

thanks for the tips.i wanna do this to mine.

 

what about water, mud etc getting in through the vents? im planning on installing some soon. are there any water shields or anything that go on the under side?

 

From my understanding the Lebaron vents have catchs under them for water.

 

those pictures arent working for me?

but this is the write up im going to use
