RE: MY new hood pins!
Good job!!! Pin location is right on. How did you locate where to drill the hood? I'm thinking about pins but install questions persist. I think its just "DRILL A HOLE IN MY HOOD" jitters.
How did you do it? Thanks

RE: MY new hood pins!
You put grease on top of the hood pins after you install them, then close the hood on top of them. The grease will transfere itself to the underside of the hood. That's where you will drill... The hole can be a little bigger an off a little. The plates are what matter and will cover up a little mistake.

RE: MY new hood pins!
Pep boys kit...$12.99 and the lanyard kit...$4.99. I think the company was called Spectre or something like that...
For the price, I was surprised about how quality they were...everything is stainless and finished very well.
And when you drill through the hood, YOU MUST DRILL FROM THE BOTTOM UP!
I initially wanted the pins to be a little closer in...but I didnt want to drop the bumper or fabricate brackets. I like where they are now, especially with the scoop...without the scoop, I dont think I would like the location.
