its good so your hood doesn't fly up on the freeway. the latch can come apart off of the hood sometimes.

Might want to cover up where your drilling with some masking tape to prevent cracking.

When my friend installed my hoodpins, he first used the smallest drillbit to get a small hole going then increased the size going through more and more drillbits. I believed it was a set of metal bits
