how to install stainless hood insert? i have a stainless hood insert for my SS hood and i put it on today but the only hardware it came with for install were two little screws and nuts. problem is that you can see the screw heads after putting it on and it is rather not attractive. any better ways to affix it to the stock plastic insert?

The stainless grills are best if mechanically fastened.
Sometimes they are adhered with Gorilla Glue.
This is not my first choice, but I know that's they way "some" other customers have installed them in the past.
The problem the Camaros have is that unlike the Trams Ams, there are no factory screws to take advantage of for the install. It's either the small screws, or you have to use an adhesive. There are no other options. I know the Gorilla Glue works.
Thanks, Roger
