Thanks!!
I got them yesterday... and I'm pulling a double today... so I had to put them on on my dinner break, I could not wait any longer.
I think some people like them and so don't.....I really like them....

Installation was easy... they use double side tape...
I got them from CDC....
I used my index finger and an inch on each side to line them up... kind of getto but it worked....
The wires are coated with some sort of clear rubber... so there should be no problems....

Yeah, I would have gone real or not gone that route at all. Ever since I put mine on, I've been asked at least 25 times if they are real... I'd feel pretty silly if I had to say they were fake. I mean, they look good, but what's the point?

Ian,
What did you use to cut the hood liner, How does it look?
That is the only thing stopping me for installing my real pins I havent figured out a good way to finish off the underside of the hood. I want a finished look to it.
Does anybody have a picture of this????

I used a hole bit and a drill. Honestly, it doesn't look that pretty. But, on the outside is covered by the hood pin covers and the inside is covered with the hood insulation. You never see it. I just cut a little hole in the insulation where the hood pin goes through.
