Question CF hood owners, I need your help

I just bought a one piece CF hood for my 02 WRX and was wondering if anyone did a little modification to it prior to installing it. I know you'd have to drill holes for the washer nozzles. How about the air splitter and seal. Did anyone install that to their CF hoods? I heard most people don't even bother using it. Also did you use the rubber seals that the stock hood has or you you just left the CF hood without any seals. THanks for your help.

Hopefully you can install the factory underhood air diverter and intercooler seal without too much hassle. They are pretty important to the proper functioning of the intercooler.

Well I got an even trade for my stock silver hood for the CF hood + his stock silver hood which got keyed. l couldn't say no to that. Plus I like the look of CF hood on a Silver Car. :banana: BTW the CF hood that I got weighed in at 2lbs lighter than the stock hood.
