[QUOTE="RaptorAddict.com, post: 45312, member: 1641"] Anybody try installing hood pins? I'm installing pins from AutoFab. The best heavy duty pins as far as I'm concerned. I'll admit it. I don't need them, but I'm installing them for looks and purpose. Having issues though. I'm mounting them on the L/R front corners of the hood. Like an idiot, not thinking, I cut the under panel of the hood to fit the nuts. Stupid... then I think....CRAP!!! Could have just used threaded rivets. Now I have to take the hood off and fabricate. Needed to get the pins made about 2.5 inches longer at a machine shop. Since the bushings are now on an angle due to the contour shape of the hood, I had to trim the bottom of the bushing so the pin could slide in vertically without resistance. BTW...Drilling the hood was the most horrifying experience of my life. Pain to install due to figuring, but looks incredible. Anyone deal with these yet? If your are, DON'T cut the under panel of the hood! A result of impatience and excitement. DON'T let it get YOU! [/QUOTE]
