what kind of hood should i......

nah, just playin, i actually need a little help guys.
i want to know how to pull this damn fastener off without actually exacto blading it off.
i got the rest of the stuff off intact, it is just this one that is pissing me off.
i started to pull at it with a vice, i thought squeezing it would push the tabs in but it wouldn't budge, it started to discolor.
i suppose if you guys can't help i will just take my lazy ass to the dealership to buy this piece. but here goes:




thanks.

That was the only holder that I had to destroy to get out. It's got little barbs on the shaft that's imbedded in the hood. I never replaced it with a new one as the CF hood didn't have a hole there for it anyway. I'm afraid it's a one time use only.

ok, so i got the hood on now, just 1 thing now though. i was only able to use 3 bolts to secure the hood. 1 of them wouldn't thread, do you guys think i can get away with that? i am a little uneasy about missing that 1 bolt.

Itll "work" if the hood closes, but obviously you should take care of it asap.

thanks tinker219
hey, anyone know off hand what size bolt that is by the way.
i plan to go to home depot to get a longer one, but i don't feel like comparing bolts to the original, if you guys happen to know what i should be looking for, that should save me some time so i know what i am looking for.
yeah, the hood closes fine, the fit is better than most, but not as good as stock of course, but pretty damn good.

thanks.
