Default Help on installing a CF hood

I just bought a MG style hood and wanted to get some help on installing it. I have a few questions

1. How do you take off the windshield sprayers?
2. The hood didn't come with any bolts or anything. Is this normal?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

if i remember right the sprayers are just clipped in so all you should have to do is squeeze the clips and push them thru the hood and you should be able to use your old mounting hardware

Unless you plan to paint the hood or the sprayer nozzles, it's going to look goofy with white nozzles on a black CF hood. You can just buy black nozzles from your dealer.
You don't need any bolts. You use the existing ones. Also, to adjust it, you may have to twist the rubber stoppers up or down and also adjust the hood catch assembly to make it latch properly.

Since the subject is brought up, I was just wondering if anyone here have problem with their CF hood and hood damper? Is the CF hood strong enough to handle the pressure that the hood damper puts on.
