I can see you in the hood holding the camera

ebpda9 10-12-2004 09:09 PM

pdiggitydogg 10-13-2004 02:11 PM

Straight West Coastin'





After the install...I lost my threadlocker somewhere. I still havent found it.

Went on pretty easy actually. I was surprised how little it weighs (should have scaled it).

One of these days Im goin to have to roll up to a body shop and see if they can get the space lessened on the driver side at the fender. (Perma-deer damage)

I still need to put the washer nozzles on. Maybe this weekend...

Does it have a latch as well, or just the hood pins. Also are the hood pins hard to install my buddy wants to put them on his car. Looks good.

pdiggitydogg 10-13-2004 07:16 PM

It does have a steel latch...but like I always say "I wouldnt drive around w/ cf hood, and not have any pins"

They were not hard to install IMO. It did take some time, and it is something that you cant screw up too much. I'll write up a how-to for the step-by-step section (damn...I'll have to draw the pictures).
I highly recommend a rotary tool (ie dremel) with a thin grinding-stone bit, over a drill....much more control. I only used a drill for the rivet holes (1/8"), since it would track all over the place w/o a starting hole/divit (something you cant really do on cf/fiberglass)

G-M-W 10-13-2004 07:34 PM

bronze hoodpins would look hoooot

pdiggitydogg 10-13-2004 08:16 PM

I really wanted black...but gunmetal was as close as I could get from a quality pin.

(How-To completed, check Step-By-Step)

KwikR6 10-13-2004 10:18 PM

So yeah Pdigg's...that looks fucking good man!!!!
I'm impressed!!!

pdiggitydogg 10-13-2004 10:26 PM

Thanks a lot!:)

ebpda9 10-13-2004 11:08 PM

why not just keep the hood without the pins ?

blind34_1 10-13-2004 11:58 PM

looks great, man.

(not that I would want to see it, but you should've taken the picture naked)

pdiggitydogg 10-14-2004 12:42 AM

I dont trust any non-oem hood...seen too many pics of them flying up and smashing the windshield and denting roofs.
I play safe.

I really shouldve done that naked...never thought of that. If anything I couldve blurred out my crotch a bit. That wouldve been awesome!

IALuder 10-14-2004 07:21 AM

hahahah

nice i like it. the pins are to big for my taste. looks good tho. i hate my pins. but like you said you need them with a CF hood.

pdiggitydogg 10-14-2004 02:12 PM

theyre really not THAT big
The squiters (which I put in today) are about 1/3 the size of the pin tops
