Can someone post pics of under the hood, so that we can see where the posts mount.

Any others that don't require drilling holes? I know the Shelby ones use some kind of bracket. I have seen some pictures where the hood pins come through the existing rad cover push pin holes. That is the kind of pictures I would like to see.

I went a different route, I went with the twist-lock style from the 71-73 Mach 1. I like them but they were very expensive (I think they were around $250) and very difficult to install. If I had known a year ago they were going to put twist lock pins on the 2008 GT-500KR, I would have waited and bought those and mounted them the way Ford does.

Well that is what some have done, I believe it still requires drilling though. And of course you will always drill your hood unless you get the CDC ones. But about the rad cover push pin holes, the pics I have seen of this, make the pins look way to far back on the hood and doesn't give it a nice look imo.

Not sure if you are looking for the standard nostalgic look, but there are always these...
The hole is obviously bigger... but the look is different.
