a while back i ordered a 2.5" CF cowl hood.. i have the same one cobrared96gt has from the same exact company except obviously mine is for 99-04..if your not sure which one im talking about, heres the thread on his http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/791075-some-rice-teh-ride-some-hood-reinforcement-qs.html
anyway, the hood latch area is not reinforced with steel and i need some opinions on how to fix this...my only other option is to get hood pins which i hate and i REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY dont want to drill into my hood.
i was looking at the hood pin kits from american muscle because they say no drilling required which is great news for me, BUT will the 3m tape that hold the latching part of the pins on the hood hold up to a possible opening hood, or will they just peel off if the hood opens?
any help with either reinforcing this hood or finding hood pins that i dont have to drill my hood with will be greatly appreciated.. if i am going to have to drill my hood, can you guys tell me a good company to get pins from?
im heading home this weekend to get my hood and paint it so ill need to have the pins by at least monday or else i have to chance a 10 hour 75-80mph drive without hood reinforcement.. thanks guys
