Default CDC Hood Pns Plancement (pics)- Comments?

Hey guys,

I could not resist. My Stang is in the garage for the winter, but with the temps in the 60's today, I've decided to install my CDC hood pins. I know that the location of the pins is really up to individual owner, but here is how I've installed them. Do they look weird or OK to you guys??? I'm getting a bit paranoid, since I've been looking at them for an hour during the install, so a fresh pair of eyes would be helpful. Let me know what you think. Thanksin advance!

I think they should be about 6" from the front of the hood and about 6" from the hoods crease line. Like this.

+1. I think they are too far uphill, and look weird sitting on the crease, but the product itself looks great.

The reason they should not be placed where you have them is because there are no structural members in that location under the hood to attach the real pins to so they are not logically positioned. Thats if you want them to make sense anyway.

Thanks for your opinions guys !! Much appreciated. Looks like the opinions are split 50/50 or so. I'm gonna sleep on it, and see what I think tomorrow. If the are too high, I'll take them off and move 'em down and in a bit. I guess it all depends on what works for me, right?
