My girlfriend pointed out that I made one pin higher than another by 1/4"    
I mounted the pins to the headlight surrounds on the radiator support. Turns out the one of the pins was at a slightly different angle and I didnt notice.   I just dabbed RTV to the heads of the hood pins and marked the inside of the hood, and got'er'dun.
Im not too upset.   Ill just find another girlfriend .   :D

cant notice in the pics!!

But the blue does sorta stand out...  as there is no other blue on the whole car (outside).. sorta throws the blackness off a bit..

No black or silver hood pins availible

Sure there is... on the license plate. It does stand out a bit, but I still really like it. Nice job!

You could get some matching lug nuts, which will save even more weight.

Ive already got tuner lug nuts. They are remarkably smaller than the stock style ones too. good idea tho!

I may take the time to get everything coated   ;D

How about some matching blue anodized rims!!  They take the emphasis of the pins.  :P


Seriously tho, it must have taken some courage to drill the first hole in that hood.

Lowells old blue anodized rims where awsome..   Infact, I think he owns them again   :D

The scary part of drilling carbon fiber and fiber glass is they both splinter if you drill slow!   :-X
