You're supposed to soak the gasket in hot water prior to installing it to make it slightly larger and more pliable. Doing it cold would indeed be difficult.

Black & brushed nickel crest installed
I has to use my original gasket as I could not stretch the gasket that came with the crest enough to make it fit. Pleased with the look of the new crest as it gives the car a bit of 'outlaw' look to it. Here are two pics.

Steve, as recommended on this list go to:
HOLIDAY SPECIAL - Reduced Pricing on Custom Refinished Hood Crests! - Rennlist Discussion Forums
I ordered the middle one pictured. A bit pricey but I treated myself for the holidays. Both wife and I really like the look. Check them out.
