Dumb, dumb, dumb. Since you already said you won't be going that fast, I now vote do nothing to the hood.

Putting fake hood pins on a car like that is similar to fake boobs! :-)

Fake hood pins are like big spoilers on a honda civic.

So since I run different tires than the recommended stock tires on the Mustang and they are staggered, should the PSI inflation be any different?

A max P.S.I rating should be on the sidewall of the tires..I normally start about 10 lbs under that then adjust for ride comfort from there

okay, you guys convinced me. I'll go with real hood pins.

You had an excellent car detailer in the area, what about someone that I can trust to drill holes in my hood?

I bet you could do it. Just watch a few youtube videos like I've been doing for things. :-)

Well I sold the Mustang today. $4700.

SCAT Pack Shaker is to be finished 05/07 and ships out via rail that day.

Going to take my profit and rent a car. What do you guys think of these group of cars Sonata/Malibu/Fusion? Which one is better?

His goal is to be able to drive it one day. When I got it done I dove it 70 miles there so he could see and hear it. Nite his wife is going to start driving it up once or twice a week

So...

The old man will never drive his car, he passed away early Saturday. I got the call as I was walking in the shop this morning.

Looks like my Friday will be spent driving his car to his funeral. :-)

The new Fusions are very nice cars.

Personally, I wouldn't drill the holes. I would pilot them with a small drill bit and then use a sheet metal punch to broach them out. You end up with a perfectly round hole that way. If you aren't going to do it yourself, there are probably 25 rod shops in Tampa that would do it.

If you really must do this, that is.

I've got a drill bit that's made for holes like he needs. It's leaves perfect holes.
