Four Hood Pins

[Defiant]

You'll need to take the headlights off to install them and then cut the extra part that sticks out from the bottom.

Or, measure the length needed and cut them off before installing.....

Here's an idea for the rear hood pins. Make a bracket that extends off of the firewall and then mount your hood pin into the bracket. Then bolt the bracket to the firewall. It's a bit more work, but then you could get the hood pin further back and exactly where you'd want it. I also think that this setup would look extremely clean under the hood.

Just a thought.

Or just install them on the only flat surface towards the ear of the engine bay. You can even get under it from the wheel well to tighten the hood bolt. I have a hole one one of those circled sides there because I tried to mount a sensor, but I decided not to due to clearance issues. The metal there is thick though, be ready to drill for a long time if you have a low volt drill. See pic attached.

Yea, why waste your time making some god forsaken bracket as I mentioned. Especially when there's a perfectly good flat surface for you to drill on.

I guess I need to look under the hood of my car more often as I didn't realize it would be so damn easy. I stand corrected.
