16485, Mounting hood pins
Posted by DocWhiplash, Mar-06-02 04:40 AM
I know I should probably figure this out on my own but i want to get a carbon fiber hood and would like to know the best place to mount the hood pins in the engine bay. Any pictures would be helpful too. Thanks

when u pop the hood theres these lil rubber nubs that the stock hood rests on..

you can take them out and put the pins in there
