Anyone know of a good shop that could install some hood-pins?

It's really not that hard to install if you have the right tools.

I have a lot of tools, but I have never messed with body work/drilling a hole in my hood and don't want to mess it up. Maybe I'll look at it again and decide.

some hood pin kits have a template with measurements for exact drill puka location. rule 1: measure twice or three times first.  |

They are the billet style hood-pins. I don't even know if I want to install them now. I might just find a good body shop that can set my hood correctly. Know any good body shops?

If you have a fiberglass hood, I would recommend that you would put on those hood pins that you have.

Really. How come? Is it a pain to get the hood lined up?

he responding to you saying you might not put the hood pins on. With a fiberglass hood its highly recommended that you do install hood pins as the stock hood latch tends not to hold...

thanks Chuck! Fiberglass can flex just enough to unlatch itself from the stock hood latch. |
