Has anyone installed the Shelby/Scott Drake hood pins ("made for 05-09's) on an earlier model, such as the new edges?!? It says they can be "adapted for earlier years" and I was wondering what the heck that could mean!!!!! These are really the only hood pins I can tolerate (besides the twist ones that I can't find installation instructions on), so I'd REALLY like to use them if it's not a huge "adaptation."

For reference, I have an 01 Cobra and recently bought a carbon fiber ViS CobraR hood because my stock one flew up on me and totalled it.

Here's one with installation instructions for 05-09: http://www.mossmuscle.com/Shop/ViewP...61&SortOrder=1

And I can't find the site again that mentioned about "adapting" them, but if I do, I'll post it later.

Those are sweet, i dont see how making them fit would be too cmplicated?

Exactly...like what the heck would be different??? Does it just mean you don't use the mounting brackets?! ugh

And this isn't the first website I saw that said they can be adapted, but here's an ebay auction that says it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT Those, of course, are the ones that DON'T say Shelby though.

For anyone else who's considering these pins, this is the answer i got from the ebay seller: "Yes, you just don't use the brackets and they are the same as most other hood pin kits out there. The overall length of the pins is 4 inches."

I ordered Steeda pins a few days ago but if I don't like them, I'm ordering the ones from ebay.

Just fyi if anyone is interested, I DID install the Scott Drake hood pins on my 01 Cobra with a ViS Cobra R carbon fiber hood (which apparently is the most popular hood around here because I've seen 3 others within 15 miles!). Anyways, if anyone needs any help or would like photos, just message me! I LOOOOVE them. Couldn't imagine junking up my hood with anything else. Definitely worth the $100+ price tag.
