I have looked all over in here, can't find a "how to" on installing hood pins on a fiber hood and 06 ralliart. i am looking for an easy placement on the car, hoping not to have to drill or anything, but if someone had some pics and directions that would be real helpful, thanks

 

ok...so you want hood pins but don't wanna drill......I'm going to try $#%$%$#^$%^^%#!@#^$^&^&^%&#&^.....you can't not drill and have hood pins.drilling is required...try the evo forums.

 

i know that...i mean the frame of the car not the hood.

 

come on people, someone should be able to help, i have searched everywhere including this site. i know i have to drill the hood, no worries, but where is the best place to mount the stems on the frame. have some of you used any of the pre-drilled holes successfully?

 

i have some on my car, and i had to drill the rad support and the hood, just use some masking tape on the top side of the CF hood so not to damage the finish, and prevent chipping, good luck with your project.

thanks very much, i figured i would have to just pic a spot,

 

There are how-to videos out there. Installing hood pins is the same for about any car.

 

You would think right? Darn i have searched though, maybe i just suck at the searching part, you know key words and such. Anyways, put the hood on yesterday, actually fits really good, still in primer sealer though, the grey looks ok against the red. Leave on for a few days then taking in for a paint job. Front latch seems pretty strong, i built it up and out with new FG. wish i new how to post pics...and yes i searched that too! LOL

 

I've seen how-to's, but not on this site. Search around google.

 

With my car i had to drill the cf hood and the frame above where the headlights mount.to me it's the best place to mount the pins but i dunno how your gonna do it without drilling because the stock holes are too big.

 

Not sure what type of pins you are going to use, but here is a nice how-two from a 240SX board:
