    That kinda depends on the head unit. Most of them come with these thin metal removal tools that slide in on either side and undo the clips that hold them in the sleeve.

        I couldn't find removal things so I just used two butter knifes and unbent the sleeve tabs that hold it in. Got the same exact brand for the new unit so it was plug and play :-) Thanks guys.

              there's a rubber bumper on each front corner of the hood, located on the core support. twist them out to raise the front of the hood. you can also raise the latch inside the core support if it's pulling it down. the rear is adjusted down with the bracket things. side to side and front/rear of course is the 6 hinge bolts on the hood.

              My wife does not like E30s but at least she wants a BMW now. it's a step in the right direction. I'm also near my 6 year anniversary..

                  if you are talking about the wires behind the valance those just clip into the valance itself. if you dont have oem clips like me you can use zip ties

                        Thanks for all the help everyone. The hood is sitting nice and flat now on all four corners

                          Also the wires do have a clip, I'll just look for the hole to stick it in on the valance hahaha

                            Looks great.

                            Clutch grabbing at the top is the way it should be, this means you have a good bleed and the slave cylinder is functioning as quickly as it can with the minimum amount of pedal input. I never understand why so many people have this condition and think it's an issue

                            If you had air in the system to get out (via another bleed) the clutch friction point would be closer to the floor, with greater pedal input. Think of it like the brakes - a poorly bled system will have a soft pedal requiring more input to bite hard.

                            Once you get familiar with driving it, you'll know by feel how much you need to press the clutch pedal. If you can't get comfortable, I suppose the clutch stop is the simple solution.
