Default Installed my hood pins today

Well I just got done installing my Shelby hood pins and I must say it kind of looks tacky without the hood scoop there. My hood scoop is going in for paint on Monday so right now it's just the bare hood with the pins and I'm not sure I like it without the hood scoop.

Yeah you have to drill a guide hole from underneath. If you remove the grill you will have enough room but I already had the bumper off anyways to install my new grill so it was just easier to leave it off.

Here are some pics

The bumper was already off. Even if it wasn't though I would have still removed it. It makes it so much easier. Plus to remove the front bumper all you have to do is remove both front rims remove the wheel liner and remove a few bolts it takes all of 10 min and it makes the install so much easier.

I actually agree, not lookin all that good without the scoop. once the scoop is installed it will look nice though. Get some racing stripes!!!

I have a red pony with black stripes, it looks great.

Yeah I would be upset if I didn't have this roush hood scoop sitting right next to me and if I wasn't going with racing stripes. Right now it kind of looks blah but with the stripes and the scoop it looks amazing. I have yet to see 1 stang I didn't like with hood pins, hood scoop and racing stripes.
