Viper hood and plastics

[yamaha06]

So I had to remove my hood to install my HIDS, when I installed all the plastics the blue plastic where it meets up with the white hood doesn't seem like it's right since I can see those black torx bolts that hold the hood on. I can't remember if it's always been like that or if it's not on there right? I added some pics so you guys could see what I'm talking about

It should cover, but yes it's a challenge to put it back. I have yet been able to get all panels perfect.

Speaking of hood removal .. after removing the 2 side panels, where do i start? lol ..

Ya I just don't like the way it looks, I want it so you atleast don't see them torx bolts but not sure how I will accomplish that. And to remove the hood remove side panels there will be 3 torx you will now see, remove the one closest to the gas tank on either side, then you need to remove a torx on either side of the upper front a arm, and two torx right underneath the front bumper

Two front lower screws have been removed from my hood and never went back on. My aftermarket bumper covers them up. Stays put.

Two front screws below front bumper, one at upper arm, each side, two top, under plastic mesh insert at handlebars....reach in to wire harness. Make sure you are using the right torx bit (the right torx will not have play)

Best thing to do is read your OM. It's all in there.

Is everyones viper like this or are your guy's plastic tight to the hood hiding those ugly torx screws?

The hood and platics look good at 60mph. Just don't stop....

Anyone know what size these Torx are? I'm missing one on the front panel
