Default How to install hood pins?

hi. i just bought a VIS carbon fiber hood and i need some advice on installing hood pins. suposedly i dont need the pins and i have driven over 90 mph with the hood on and it seems pretty stable to me, but i just wanna "make sure." i am planning on buying locking hood pins with a key so if anyone has any advice on how to install them so i dont mess up the hood, that would be great. thanks!

Not being a smart ass, but they should come with instructions on how to install. Only tip I can offer is when you go to drill the hood. put masking tape over the hood first so you dont scratch it and stuff.


I have never installed hood pins B4 but they seem simple, and I was going to say you should get the locking ones but you beat me to it. :thumbup:

Not to be a smart ass, but he did say he was planning on buying hood locks, so technically, he doesn't have them yet. Of course he's not gonna have instructions if he doesn't have them yet. :chuckles:
