Yep, Scott Drake makes the one's for Shelby The marks they can leave from dirt getting between them at the hood can easly be removed with any good light polish

Alright thanks, and Im extremely **** about doing stuff myself and messing up. Cause ofc if I do, its my fault, but If I have a shop do it, its their fault if you get what I mean. How long roughly did it take for you to install it?

Another question. Some Mustangs can pull off hood pins, others look awful with them. Do you guys think mine could pull them off to look good? In other words should I do them?



Where would i place them on my hood. Far left and right parts of the hood or more towards the middle in distance from stripes?

Here is my 2 cents....I think your car would look killer with the Scott Drake / Shelby pins in black. Don't be afraid to do this yourself, it is very easy. First you need to install the radiator brackets, the the pins. Adjust the pins down to the lowest position, or until the just touch the underside of the hood. Now, get some peanut butter or thick paste wax, and put a glob on the round tip of the pin itself. Close the hood to transfer whatever you decide to use, and BAM there is where you drill your pilot hole. The directions recommend a hole saw, but trust me, get yourself a set of step bits, it will make life so much easier. I worked the outside and inside with the bits and it worked out very well. Pull the trigger!

Here is my car with the pins installed.

Haha I was considering black but if you look at this picture for example I've gone chrome/billet for a mass of things. Fuel Door, exhausts, rims, interior dress up, etc. Other than the stripes, I dont have much black. From the front I agree black would look good but seeing the rest of the car, I feel like Billet would look best. I'd LOVE to pull the trigger atm but am trying to be careful!


Gothamems: Looks good, I feel though that with the stock hood putting them further out would look better. Distance wise, which should I do in placement?

I see what you mean with the chrome. I have OCD with my car, so what I did to tie up the front end a little tighter is I installed very thin chrome rings around my fogs. IMO, I think it makes the front end look super tight, chrome pony, chrome fog trim (they have to be the thin ones, many of them on the market are very big and to much), and then the hood pins. I like the position of my pins, this position will clear your stripes, I personally think this position works very well with the stock hood.

The farther apart the better for looks. If you want to put them where I have mine its easy. Open your hood and look right next to the 2 bump stops and you will see a hole. That hole will hold your hood pin but, you need to remove your headlights so you can get to the underside for the nut that goes on that side of your hood pin. Then just do as stated about to mark your drill locations.

Alright I might do that route. Do I need to put the lanyard through the grill honeycomb holes or right under the hood where it lays? If I have to put it through a grill opening it'll be very difficult to put it on the outside.

You can attach them under your radator cover. When your hood is close there is a gap between the hood and the grill so your lanyards will not make contact .
