Those inserts are crude as hell. I bought the same ones in order to have this fiberglass hood created and these pieces of crap needed A LOT of finish work - definitely were WAAAY overpriced. You will want to weld these into your existing hood if you’re going to use them, fiberglassing will not last at all.

...the price of cool ain't cheap!
In the past I’ve had glass fiber body kits on a couple of cars, and they’re not as durable as OEM plastics. When it cracks or splits it’s all over.
I also had a carbon fiber hood on my last car, that would ‘flutter’ at speed, as it was lighter weight. I could have cured that by securing it with hood pins, but really just regretted not going with the available steel version.

Had a spare hood and used these measurements that I found here
It helps immensely with heat extraction especially if you live in hot conditions like I do in the middle east
