Hood shake is completly gone..Im not a huge fan of the stick ons, these actually serve a purpose, the hood shake before was annoying..

Sorry but I don't agree.

I have an overlay billet grille and can't tell the difference unless your face is right up smelling the radiator.

Steedman, your vehicle is very nice!

I am a big fan of the dark colored paint and lighter stripe detail. The billet grille and hood pins. I'm a fan because that's exactly how mine looks!

Nice work sir!

How are the install of these? Any install instructions online? I was waffling about pins last year but couldn't find a set that I liked, these look pretty good, I saw them on the Terlingua Shelby at the factory this past month when I was there.

Install was pretty easy...I did screw up my radiator shroud when I drilled holes through it, so ordered a new one with the hood pin holes pre cut out through Shelby direct..Ive gotten a few compliments already from them when im out and about, I like the black billet rather than the silver, cuz the cars black..I have them tight to the hood, and there is absolutley no hood shake anymore at all..

Easy, drill it, when you go to sell it, your market will be a tad smaller as you'll have to find a guy who wants pins. That's what the internet is good for.. connecting people with those special interests.

It's that or you pose with those appearence ones to crave your hunger for pins..

I love the way your Shelby pins look! I like how they have the recess for the pins to sit in. I may just go ahead and order them...TODAY!!!!!!
