88LXi68 has received his carbon fiber hood and it came with hood pins! A very nice surprise. For the 9 of us who bought the hoods through the group buy (see https://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6456 if you want to read about this) I found this page with a good how-to for installing the hood pins:

it is a very well written article, it also shows on the site how to add windshield squirters
I am scared to put the hood pins in, because I know I am going to cry when I drill in to the hood :(.
yea but you are also gonna cry when your hood and windshield are ruined.
If the install on the hoodpins is anything like installing them on a regular hood it should be a peice of cake. Look in the how to section....also maybe you should practice on your old hood if your freaked out about drillin it. I was freeked when I drilled my hood but it came out great. Check out the how too section..also what kind of hood pins are they??
yeah practice on your old hood. or go to junk yard and drill holes out there.
than you can take measurements and putt them on CF hood. this way you should make one time drill and be done with it.
Yo steve, what sup with the pics man! you have a freaking digi cam, there is no excuse :lol

Cuz the hood will flip up...crack in two, and smash your windshield in the process.
Danm! I did not know our cars could go that fast! :lol
Then what do u say to all those ppl who do not have hood pins on the CF Hoods?? I saw tons of them two weeks ago!!
you say... hello, nice hood!
Travis
i think the pins are for show... if it has a place for thge original locker, then that should be good???
Travis
I did say hello! They ignored me!! :lol But the reason I ask is:: I like things that look clean. So when I get the CF hood, I want to keep it looking clean..
go on the highway without your hood latched shut and see what happens, and if the CF hood has a spot for the stock latch you dont need hood pins, you can do one or the other, or both :rice:Quote:
