Well....The time has come, 3 new pics. 56K Ok
Well, today was the day, I ordered this hood from ShowStoppers and I can't say how happy i was that i ordered from them. They are great guys there and helped alot and still keep in touch. I'll give ya the run down on this experience.
1. Unscrewed 3 bolts just fine
2. 4th and final bolt for some reason was a little rounded, and I tried to get it off but rounded it off more.
3. Tried to drill it out
4. ^ Didn't work
5. Cut the damn bolt off, very clean cut and couldn't be more perfect.
6. Installed hood
7. Shaved down the washer nozel so it would fit in the hole,
8. Sat back and smiled and drank a Corona!
9 Realize the gf had my camera and i had to take a pic with my camera phone FTL.
Enjoy guys!

Rep Power: 285 i dont like hood pins. I had them malfunction on an M3 that i turbod. The normal hood latch didnt work, and somehow the pins slid out (i didnt close it, so it wasnt my doing). But at about 45 mph, the pins fell out, and the hood came up and smashed the windshield. I drove blind until i came to a complete stop.
I know that doesnt happen often, but relying on only hood pins is a bad idea.
