use the stock to hold it down... works better.. use the pin for looks...
If you got a stock hood, I dont see why bothering drilling in your hood...

I have CDC also, i'm just waiting to put them on when the car comes back from the bodyshop. I got the removable for when I sell the car and the same reason as I purchased the CDC Classic instead of the Aggressive Chin. I don't want to do any drilling or cutting on my vehicle.

That is just IMO, other people may not care although I prefer to avoid any type of cutting and drilling.

Im saying that they work better for a Stock hood YES.
I know a couple of people that have pins and theres make noises and have some rattling when they get high speeds.
So my opinion for a stock hood is .. yes they work better

I think half you guys have lost your minds and have more $ than sense. I just got my GT a week ago and there is not a single thing I would want to change about her. It's the most beautiful car I've ever seen. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of performance enhancements, but all this spoiler and hood pin and mirror color and stripes and chrome tail light trim.... It boggles my mind!

But I guess that's why we're here, right?

Thats the great thing about a car that is so popular like this. Although there are tons of them on the street, the combinaitons of visual acc. you can do to your car keeps any two from being identical!

I love it!

I have to laugh at irony. Despite the mods on my '88, I was determined to keep it looking stock. As a result, I might have the only 5.0 in the entire state with 10 hole wheels still on.

To each their own, NYC. But if I have $ to spend (which I don't right now... kids!) I'm probably putting it under the hood or floorpans, not on top of the car or inside it. But that's just me.
