for anyone that put on a vis ams or terminator hood.....what did you do to secure the washer fluid line? the holes are not there on the driver side for the clips. Also, is there a way to adjust the latch? i have the sides perfectly flush, but the front is about 1/8 below the bumper. If i adjust it any higher, it will not latch shut.
thanks

Congrats on the hood. Assuming you have good fore/aft in addition to good gaps on the sides, then plz read the attached link and focus on the (2) Torx head bolts. Prob want to start by cranking them up or down in an attempt to raise or lower the bumper. If the (2) adjustable hex bumpers and (2) Torx bolts don't get you there, then you have to loosen the hood latch bolts at the radiator and push it down (The VIS hood striker is not really adjustable). You may even have to pull and slot the latch slightly if the issue is severe - but I did not have to do this. Fine flush adjustments are made with plus or minus shims under the Fascia mount bolts and push tabs. I did all of these tweaks and achieved a really good fit.
Washer hose mounting was accomplished by drilling holes into the hood where the various clips mount (reference locations from the OEM Hood). There may be tiny indents in the VIS Hood as reference if you look closely, but the holes are not pre-drilled. The Washer nozzle plate fits a little loose in the square mounting holes, I used a little epoxy on mine to keep it from falling out.
