RE: Can you drill through fiberglass hood?
It can be done.....
-Put Masking Tape in an X pattern where you want to drill...use lots of tape
-Start with a small bit and work your way up and go easy
re..hood pins...I hate them myself and did not want to put them on, but I hate the thought of my light fiberglass hood flying up even more...probably depends on the hood too...my Harwood weighs nothing....but hey to each their own...

Hoods fly up on SN95s also, it depends on the quality of the hood and maybe install also. Adder you told me 100x to put pins on my hood or it would fly up, and you also said your hood looks loose when you're driving and that you were putting pins on it, what happened?
Bernie does your hood have a steel latch? I guess what happens is the hoods that have fiberglass latches rip through and the hood comes up at high speeds.

I figured out why mine was loose.
My hood has a steel latch area.

One of the sexiest SN95s I've ever seen has hood pins so it doesn't always ruin the look.
