john_324 said:See the non-shiny kickplates with the raised lips on them (visible in the pic)? Those are supposed to go on the underside of the hood...they probably won't fit on yours unless your underside is totally flat. So skip them...shouldn't be any problems (most other hood pin kits don't even have them).
Also, in the pile of small screws/washers in the middle of the lanyards, I have no idea where the little washers are supposed to go. Only thing I've been able to surmise is that they might go between the underhood kick plate and the hood (maybe to provide a little airflow/keep the hot metal kickplate away from the underhood...perhaps to keep it from creating hot spots on the hood)...so if you're not using the underhood kickplates, don't bother with the little washers.
So basically, use the posts and nuts, the shiny kickplates on the outside of the hood screwed down with the little screws, and then the pins, and lanyards if that's your thing (I like 'em, but a lot of people don't).
Most importantly, let us know how it all goes! I still have my set sitting in my tool box, and now and again debate about installing them. Best of luck!
nickthegenius said:Thanks! I really appreciate that info. I wasn't going to put mine on until last Sunday my wife and I went for a drive and it was fairly windy. Even though everything was latched and OK, you could watch the hood dance around and I kept thinking "what if it moved just right that it came unlatched?" So now, after almost a year, the pins are going on.
BTW, for ADRENLN I found a link to this car in an older thread. I think they look pretty good:

Wicked. Must depend on who answers the phone. I think I'll buy some and size it up for myself. I kind of thought they should go on without welding them.nickthegenius said:I just got off the phone with them and they said that they can be bolted in. I wish they would get their story straight before I drop my car off tomorrow.
