      Same ^. I have a flush set for my fiberglass 02 hood, but have not used them yet.

        we installed them on Brianna when we built Kishgs Spece30 car.

        They have two kinds, the flush mount was a bitch to install. Turk practiced on a spare rusty hood we had to get it just right before doing it on Brianna.

        Came out nice they work well and very secure.

            glad to see you can use them considering how the hood opens.

              its not an issue. retain the rear stock hw for the hood and pin the front.

                I've installed a number of sets on different cars including e46m3s and 135s. They are a pain in the ass to install compared to traditional Sparco style pins. They work fine though.

                    so you will loose the hinge and the whole hood can come off?
