Well, Decided to man up and install some of the Moss hoodpins today. The $100 was well spent, I mean; it is a great kit!! Really heavy duty, and looks good.
Although everything was nice, I just couldn't hand my car over to someone else to install them. I read the write-ups and it seemed like a pretty straight forward task.
I figured an hour, maybed two to install...boy was I wrong...5 hours later.
Drilling into a new car...hearing that sound, just sickening. Also, could not figured out how to take the grille off, that was surprising. So, adjusting the pins was a complete pain. Thought I was going to break the hood opening cable, opened and shut the hood probably 473 times.
But, now that I am done puking up the blood from the ulcers, probably going to pluck the gray hairs out tomarrow. But they are installed.
And they look great!!! I now can feel safe going over 100, damn hood won't pop up on me again!!!
I'll post pictures after I clay it next weekend.

It took me hours as well to get them lined up as good as I do now(which isn't great, but they function and the hood opens/closes without rubbing. As long as you don't need a new hood...that's a good thing! I have a spare stock scoopless hood sitting in the garage for if and when I decide on a different placement(I'd like to turn it into a cowl hood to take advantage of the lightweight aluminum).
