Good advice, except that I would skip the adhesive remover step. I just scraped off the big chunks and called it good... personally I don't like the idea of spraying adhesive remover around paint, no matter how well covered.

I also did not use a roller to press it down, just clamped it with my hands on either side of the hood.

The 3M Super Trim Adhesive (specifically Super Trim, not the regular) is good stuff. Application is well-controlled (think silly string). I followed the directions on the can for spraying on both surfaces, and one can is just about perfect for coverage.

One other note -- before applying adhesive, test fit and make some alignment marks (I used masking tape). And when you put it on for real, get a second person to help. It's a big flapping sticky pad and two hands are not enough.
