NOT FEELING THE PINS THOUGH.i honestly didn't want to use pins cuz i don't like putting holes in stuff that i like... but i had to get rid of that gap and to attempt to move the latch was going to be a pain in the @$$ so i went with a way easier route. and used hood pins.

thank god! about time you got that thing painted! LOL

[joholste]

hey i've only had it on for a few days over a month ....what's really funny is i used to make fun of all the people who would buy something and put primer on it and not paint it, and now i'm one of those people.

hahah yeah i know what you mean man but at least you havent waited that long you've got some ppl out there that wait at least a whole year before they paint and by then its not even worth it because they messed it all up lol but post up pix when your done and those hood pins look pretty sweet man good job

Looks 100% better, Joe. I can't wait to see it painted Fusion Orange. Oh wait there I go dreaming again. Did you ever ask the makers of it about the hood latches not being right?

[meistees]

my hood fits stupid as well but I already got it painted I'd be scared to start drilling holes

Did you ever ask the makers of it about the hood latches not being right?no i probably should email the people at SLP and let them know it needs probably a half inch more on the main latch to let it sit down fully flush with the rest of the car.

I like hood pins on 'tuner' cars. But just to warn you, my buddy has them on his car and they are always getting stolen off his hood. Can't wait to see it painted! I've been saying that for like 3 years now! Maybe next year.

Looks good!I'm not a big fan of hood pins but hey, whatever works! Can't wait to see that hood painted.

I like the pins a lot. Plus, even if you don't like 'em that much, it's better to get rid of the gap and put on the pins. Also excited for the paint.

[slvrvibes]

can't wait to see the painted hood.

That looks great. Do you feel safer driving around now? Did you use the spots on the frame you were considering? I forgot about people stealing them. I bought a set of the locking ones and tested them in the parking lot and they didn't line up close enough to even lock so I returned them and got the ones you have.

[joholste]

yeah soooo...ummmm i hate not having a car....i turned my car in to be painted yesterday and i will get it back on like tuesday i think....i want my car baaaaaack... waiting games suck.

[Merzbow]

Just imagine it when it's done...I have to wait too but I wont get my stuff til Thursday!
