    Here is where I got them. http://www.deftracing.com/aerocatch_hood_pins/index.htm There kinda expensive but I wanted a clean look. There supposed to be bolted on but I used panel adhesive to glue them in and then fiberglassed them to the fiberglass hood.

    I should be in New Port Richey in a few weeks, I hope the weather is good. I should be able to see the glare off your paint job for miles!

    MAN. I spent so much time going over the photos again and again Thur. that I just realized I didn't even leave a reply. THAT IS OUTRAGEOUSLY NICE!!!! Those wheels are a nice pic also. It all just goes together like it was meant to be that way from the factory. Look forward to seeing it on the road.
