SupraStar 3000 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 hope these help I used the rubber stoppers and threaded the hood pin into the center so i didn't modify the car or drill holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 TIP: use a lazer to find the holes and trace the position onto the top of the bonnet. I used a keyring lazer and hung it from my garage roof above the car. Put the lazer dot onto the hood pin location and then shut the hood without disturbing the laser. Mark the lazer spot on the top of the bonnet and your holes should match up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
