I have the CDC hood pin appearance kit and I got them put on where the Shelby GT has its. Then I had my mechanic drill a small hole into the bottom of the hood (I'm not drilling in my hood) to run the cord.

heavygt, where does the cord from you're pin go underneath the hood?

Trying to see a good place to screw it down

If you see heavy's front shot above, we elected to drill the mounting holes about about 1.5" toward the center from where the cable goes through the grill. Put them directly into the core support with a sheet metal screw.

It's really a universal deal where you could try and see what appeals to you via pushing the cable through the grill then standing back and looking at it. There was plenty of length on heavy's to really put them wherever he wanted up there.

I installed the real pins but had to do some mods to get them to work with this hood!

sheet metal screws are usually self tapping. if yours are not, compare to a drill bit and use a few sizes smaller.
