Are FMS the best hood pins? Any tips or tricks to installation regarding location? Thanks in advance.

The Stainless pins are nice since they do not rust....

I installed mine where the bump stops once were, I have small pieces of rubber tubing around the pin to act as the bump/cushion for the hood.

Measure twice, cut once...

Look close and you can see mine

Great idea about the rubber tubing. I will do the same. I have no options on my car but to remove the factory rubber stops. There is very limited room on the radiator support bracket. Thanks.
