Ha ha. Thanks bigcat! I think that we should do away with the word lanyards though, and just call them plastic strap thingies. It sounds much more technical!
I did not mean that you should put a cover over the hood pins. I meant (in my ignorance) you should get the pins with the lanyards. I think those would look good. But, I see that you already purchased a kit off of ebay. Definately post up some pics when you install them.
kooldawg, just to let you know, I think you talked me out of cutting the springs....For now.
