IDK... Just some jiggling until it sat flat on the radiator. I also lifted the intake out of the TB hose a little to make it a bit taller. That seemed to help as well.

Here are all the pics. I went with the standard textured lid since I'm not going to be painting it. Installation wasn't too bad. One mod I had to make to the intake was flipping the bolts that held the lower lip on. The threads were digging into the A/C condenser. Once I flipped them I put some 3M tape over the heads just in case, but they don't contact the condenser anymore. I was also worried about it not sealing against the hood since the 2500 hoods are taller, but it seals up all the way around. I also tucked the wire loom behind the intake so it didn't disrupt airflow. And finally, I moved the relay that was attached to the horn over to the side to get it out of the way. Not sure what it's for...

Overall I am happy with it. Like others have said it's a little flimsy when the hood is opened, but once it's closed it's fine. Drove a couple miles last night to pick up dinner and honestly didn't notice anything, but I didn't unhook the battery and only drove about 3 miles so the computer hasn't had a chance to re-learn anything. I'll get it out on the highway this weekend and see what it will do...

Thanks! Did you have the issues I had on the bolts rubbing the AC condenser?

Thanks! And I agree! I keep the truck backed into the driveway and when I came home everyday (driving the Impala) seeing the chrome was just killing me! I am thinking of keeping it black and not doing the white at all, I like the way it ties into the flares and black under the headlights.

I might black out the headlights instead of my original storm trooper idea? Decisions, decisions...
