Is anyone using the FRPP hood pins? If not anything from Fords catalog or maybe steeda, those are the two easiest suppliers for me to get up here. Will these fit the 05+ If not what is everyone using, this hood flexes at speed

I have the FRPP hood pins. They do fit the 05, and not only in the location where I installed them.

 

Mine are where the two outside hood supports go ... And before anybody flames me , the shelby badge is long gone ...

Do a search, there are a few other threads on the subject, but the pics may have been lost a while ago during website migration.

 

Here's a couple of pic from the inside ...

I had a problem with hood flex before I raised all the hood stops to their near limit. That fixed it for me.

 

I love the look of these hood pins. Gives the car a real "race car" look...

 

from what I read inthis thread, they arent really long enough to go where I would like. I dont want them in the center, I was hoping to drill out the bump stops and slide right through. Hmmmm, Ill have to look into that. Does anyone think they will be long enough for that?

 

I like CDC's, but I also don't like drilling unecesarily, wich is why I went with them.

 

FRPP hood pins You have to weld the nut on for them to be long enough.

 

Man that is a nice ride..... pins look great with the scoop and grille.

 

thanks, any others that are similar out there without the welding?

 

Home depot has a long nut that you can use so you won't have to weld just use a jam nut.

 

They're long enough for the outside bump stops ... See my pic's above ...

 

Can you send me a pic a little further back of the car. You guys are all agreat help

 

If you mean the outside , here's one. If you want them under the hood I'll have to take some more. Let me know ...

SC67STANG did a great write up awhile back on installing pins. Unfortunately, the pics are gone, but there's a great how-to in post #31. I used his directions and had no problems whatsoever.
