The DI and DII use the same kit.

Where did you run the wires for the lights? Did you run them up the "A" pillar?

 

i did the a pillar....that sucked.....i'd rather drill holes in the roof then take the a pillar finisher off again

 

anyone got picks of painted hoods?

 

Really? My "A" pillar cover came right off when I did my rear view mirror.
But it might be different for a DII.

We need a pic of the lights on at night.

 

Here are some pictures. Sorry for the driveway shots. But the sun was fully blazing so you can see how the matte black dulls down the hood. I do not have any roof lights, but I really like this hood blackout. I never notice all the glare coming from the hood till it was gone. The blackout makes sunny highway driving much easier on the eyes. kinda like the black stripe under football players eye's.

Tips for install: I ordered mine from Rovers North. It take a week or more to get it because they usually do not have that many in stock. It comes with good directions. I opted to take my hood off and put it on styrofoam blocks on the kitchen table. Its aluminum so its really not heavy. You want to be able to walk around the hood. Spray Windex on the vynle hood blackout and on the hood. (Wax your hood 2x before installation). This is so you can remove it easily if damaged) Also it helps to bead up the windex when you spray the hood. Position the blackout decal so the edge is even with the raised edge of the Rover hood. There will be an extra 2 inches at teh back of the hood. Use a star pattern to sqeegee out the windex with the included squegee. I used a window washer like you see at the gas stations. Trim the excess at the back to 1" then fold under making cuts about every 6 inches to it can fit the arch contour of the hood. Let it set overnight to dry. Pick a night its not going to rain on your engine. This project can be easier with a helper to to stand back and look to see if its positioned evenly. Of course you can put your hood back on when your done. I did work some bubbles out from the decal within 24hrs. It has held up well. I have had it on for over a year. Also protects against rock chips.

Here are my pictures:

Its a easy $60 project that makes your Rover look hard. I find it wierd that I dont see any Jeeps or Hummers with hood blackouts

 

nevermind...i got the a pillar cover (outside spike) on good enough and i just hurculined my hood.....i dont like vinyl...i did stripes on my 94 trans am GT and it was a pain in the butt.....
