Repairing holes from hood pins?

Scar · 09-13-2007, 09:59 PM

Due to impatience, I asked a friend of mine to install the J spec hood pins on my 07 GT. Well, I've had several people tell me the hood pins are on backwards. Now I'm wondering how I can go about fixing the two holes left behind when I turn the pins around. Any suggestions would be helpful...

weld, grind prime and repaint... unfortunately

i have seen hood pins that do not require drilling. depending on how it was messsed up, you might get those to cover it up.

I appreciate the advice. I found other pics of the same type of hood pins and they are on the same way mine are. I guess it's just personal preference.

The hood I got I believe is fiberglass. It's the Steeda Cowl hood.
