yeah, its pretty simple to do, just make sure u have a dremel handy and a drill with the right drill bits (goes a lil faster - but its more safer to do with the dremel. just depends on how sure u are using tools.) theres a diy in the diy section i think.

Rep Power: 0 be sure to put masking tape on the area you are planning to screw into (just a very small piece), that way you won't crack the clear and resin (assuming you're installing the hood pins on a carbon fiber hood) when you're tightening the screw.
Titanium Metallic. You got a problem with that?

If you do happen to take it to a shop and they mess up your hood. Are they responsible? Do they have to buy you a new hood? When i lived in so cali i took my hood to a shop and they f@#cked it up

Rep Power: 0 well if they do **** up the hood and dont give me a new one they will have a a lot of broken windows on there shop. i think that will cost more then giving me a new hood.

Rep Power: 0 if i have the choice between hood pins or locks i would get hood locks instead...added security and still good for keeping your hood on your car at high speeds...
