You drain your brake fluid, and then you drive as fast as you possibly can on the highway.

its really simple.

1. you would just look for a spot on the radiator support and drill some holes there.
2. stick the hood pins through the hole you just drilled and bolt them on.
3. drill holes on your cf or frp hood where the pins would go through and you're done.

personally, hood pins look ugly to me since they take away that clean look from the hood. they just scream out.. "look at me. look at me. i got hood pins' i think its really stupid when ppl with stock metal hoods put hood pins on their cars..

yes DO get hoodpins with aftermarket hoods, it's for your safety...
it's only rice if you have hoodpins on STOCK hood...
