Synergy 5102-0X - Jeep JK Louvered Hood Panel - Manual (Page 7)

7) Once satisfied, both visually and measurement wise. Mark out all 24 holes to be
drilled on the hood. Use a fine tip sharpie to mark out the holes.
8) After marking all the holes, carefully center punch them and drill them out using a
¼” drill bit. Some areas of the hood are doubled up on the underside, drill
through all layers of the hood on all holes. **NOTE** – DO NOT CENTER
PUNCH WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE. The JK hood is made from very thin sheet
metal and easily dents. Excessive force when hammering could result in a dented
hood.
9) With all ¼” holes drilled out, we can now go through and open up a few of the
holes to allow for easier installation of the louver panel hardware.
Using the 1” hole saw, and the ¼” pilot hole as a guide, open up
the underside bracing of the hood in the 4 locations marked with
arrows in picture 9.1 below.
Picture 9.2 shows a close up of the completed cut.
