Thank you ALL! Awesome info. I'm still learning. I've been through 2 hood inserts now, this 3rd one is a new one that I had wrapped in CF w/3 coats of clear. It should be good, but I really wanted to make sure I wasn't over or under tightening the nuts. I've replaced the OEM with M6 1.0 Stainless w/stainless metric washers (forgot the exact number) and love the switch.

I'm going to post a couple more Q's, maybe you all could help.... I'll start a new thread so that it might help someone else in the future...

Thanks guys!
