Ok, let me answer as many questions as I can.

You do not need any other bolts besides the ones that came with your hood. There are two hinges that allow the hood to pivot up and down. They are at the bottom of the windshield and right next to each fender. There are multiple holes on these hinges. You will want to take a drill bit and make these holes larger so that the bolts can slide around the holes. Doing this will allow you to adjust the hood even further. Once you have a good alignment, you can ask a buddy to give you a hand finalizing it. Have him hold the hood in position and then have yourself tighten all of the screws.

The bump stops will not have to be removed, at least not for a VFN hood. Sometimes you have to have one stopper higher than the other to get the hood to "twist" a little it. Obviously, I don't mean twist like a pretzel, but just a little tweak so that it will even itself out.

Ok, I threw everything onto my tutorial site. The site is incomplete so don't pass judgment...lol. At any rate, here's the link. Hopefully the pics will help you out.
