Those will actually be plenty long. Just follow the HOW-TO that I wrote and DB already posted a link to. It's easy and only takes an hour if that to do...

Hood pins are pretty easy to install. Just make sure to line them up before drilling. We have a quality kit available, all stainless steel, includes lanyards for optional use.

Nice looking hood pins... Price seems good. IMO the web site needs some work. Not all that user friendly.

We USED to call that n****r rigging around these parts and thats

If you follow the HowTo, the hood holes are drilled AFTER the hood pins
are installed in the radiator support. The pins locate the hood holes.

On another note, its been seen on the forum a bad install where the
screws holding the hood plates were improperly installed by a hack

lol thats funny as hell, funniest part is im actually a n***er myself....

And if its done properly its not ghetto in anyway, just like how they make parts meant for the car they are ****** rigged at one point to then a logo is slapped on them and your told they are for your car....
