Mario, I found the templates for you. Chris at Best of Show said that they're only decent at best, and weren't all that helpful. In the the end he said he ended up having to eyeball the area for the cuts.




Also, here is a picture of where the hood hinges may or may not scratch the CF inner fenders:

BOS installed a set of these on Matt Alcala's car right before SEMA.. fitment was pretty good.

Where those hinges his is the same a stock wheelhouse.. would be nice if a small divit was put there to accomodate the hinge. I would be that 99% of the people running these inner fender wells will be running billet hinges.

I told Tyler about that issue when I ran into him at sema, and he figured it would be far too expensive to add in a little divit on each side because it would entail making new molds, which if I remember correctly, is the most expensive part of the process.

Maybe you 67/68 guys will get lucky from our learned experience

Matt
