Hey guys got another question here.
I currently waiting for my Trufiber GTS-3 hood from the body shop, I should have it by Wednesday.

Here is a pic of it, on someone elses car

I bought the hood pin kit from partscheap.com and had it powder coated black
Here it is
Mustang Hood Pins

My question is......

How and where do I install these at? I know they have kits that mount to the radiator support but that is too close to the center of the hood and would go right through the hood scoops. I want them on the outer edge of the hood and thought I found a good spot to mount these but all I can figure is that they would have to take the place of the rubber stops. If i go anywhere else it would not line up in the middle of the body lines closest to the outer edge.
Here is the look I want.....
SHOULD HAVE THUMBNAILS AT BOTTOM.

Pictures or videos are needed if possible to understand better.

Does anyone know where I can look to find info on this? I have done several google searches using different wording and still come up empty.

Thanks man, I thought about using those holes, but did not know if I needed to take out the headlights to get to the underneath side to put the bottom bolt on.
