im about to install some pins on my CF hood but was wondering if those of you that already have them installed had any words of advice. also i was looking for some pictures so that i can get an idea of where i want to place these on the hood(ive seen a couple of cars that have them placed in different spots on the hood).
thanks for any help

Before you go drilling into your carbon fiber, be sure you are using a high speed drill. If you arent sure, then I would highly reccommend against drilling into your hood. Snagging a twill or fractures are your biggest worries, which get worst over time. Find yourself a good speed shop that can install them for you. Youll spend about 50 dollars at most, but its worth it to have them installed correctly.

Anyway, hope this helps. I had to size and adjust the hood in the CF with a dremel but it worked out great. Remember to get the angle of the hole in the hood right. Drill the holes at a right angle so the various layers will line up with the pins when you close the hood. Also make sure you drill the holes in the header straight in.
