Front edge hood lip molding engineered for 1968-1972 Chevy II / Nova models. This molded trim restores the clean, factory-correct appearance of the hood's leading edge while protecting the sheetmetal from chips, scrapes and weather exposure. Made with a corrosion-resistant finish and formed profile to follow the original hood contour, the molding provides a snug, lasting fit that improves visual appeal and helps prevent paint damage at the most exposed edge. Designed for restoration and maintenance projects, it installs with basic tools and returns the vehicle to an authentic, finished look.

Instructions:
- Test-fit the molding along the hood's front edge to confirm alignment and any trimming needs.
- Clean the hood edge thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and let dry; apply masking tape to protect adjacent paint.
- Use masking tape and a marker to mark the final position and locations for any mounting holes or clips.
- If required, drill small pilot holes through the hood lip where marked; deburr holes with a file.
- Position the molding and secure it using the supplied clips or fasteners (or factory-style hardware). Start fastening at the center and work outward to ensure even fit.
- Trim any excess molding material to length and smooth cut ends with a file for a clean finish.
- Remove masking tape, wipe the area clean, and inspect the fit; apply a small bead of silicone sealant at the ends if desired for added protection against moisture.
