Nice job. My body guy suggested to me to not install the hood latch since I had pins, and a fiberglass hood, I only have the pins and I like it. Opens and closes with ease.

My latch was bein a PITA. I opened and closed the hood probably 20 times and the latch doesn't like to open so it got pretty annoying.

We did have 1 problem when installing. When I drilled 1 hole it came out perfect, the other though came out almost 1/2 inch off. Since we didn't get underside plates you can see where we drilled out the spot to make it fit.

Nice job, they look great.

Just a reminder, in case you left this out...be sure to paint the inside edge of the hood where you drilled the holes or rust will start to form under the bezels.
