Default Another hood pin install

Got the shelby hood pins today. Installed them this afternoon. I was more scared drilling the holes for the pins, then I was in cutting the hole for the shaker. Anyways here's a couple pics.

I think they were $65. They are made for Shelby by Scott Drake, and are stainless. Not supposed to rust.

Are these pins the ones that come with a mounting bracket? How did you cut the plastic radiator cover? How about a photo with the hood open, thanks

Yep, they are the ones with the bracket. Shelby sends a template for cutting the cover. I drilled a 1 inch hole in the plastic then cut the shape with a jig saw. I'll take some under hood pictures later.
