Well today was a great day not only was it great weather but my buddy came over and we got to work on the car. The total install of the hood and trunk took about 6 hours with breaks and a run to parts store for some nuts. The CF hood fits perfect, we didnt even have to adjust it, everything lines up evenly and the gaps arent bad. All the tabs and mounting holes had to be drilled but with some patience and time it all worked.
Only thing that we couldnt get to work was the hood shocks those had to be removed because the pin type piece on the stock hood doesnt come out, I was told by a fellow member that it does but it dont or I need some instructions on how to get it out. sot for now I dont have the hood holding up by anything I might try to install just a manual hood prop.
Now onto the trunk, its fits pretty damn good. Now its not perfect we had to tweak with the bolts and starter playing with the locking mechanisms. It does lock and unlock perfectly. You have to hold it when you open it because it pops up so quick. We are going to play with it some more to try and have it fit tighter by the corners near the window. That part has a gap and is letting in some water. We are going to try and get it tighter and also install a second set of weather stripping over the existing weather stripping.
There is more tweaking and the car needs to be clean then I will go do a nice photoshoot,
Anyways here are the pics, enjoy.
And any suggestions on the problems please feel free to let me know

The gaps where its lifting, I was also thinking of removing the tension bars in the trunk.
Because these sides can be pushed down but it seems as the hinges are pushing upwards
