I talked with RKSport today and I have a couple options.
- I can take the hood off and send it to them to be inspected and possibly replaced under warranty. However, the stock hood was destroyed in a car accident so that means I wouldn’t be able to drive my car for however long.
- Buy a new hood from them at a reduced cost to replace my hood.
- Say screw it and change hoods to something else. Of course with pins this time.

Thanks so much for the pics. I see from yours the hood lines up with the drivers side fender. Mine sits a little high on that side towards the middle. I wonder how people got the hood to work with just the stock Ford pins. Humm....

I have the ford pins, and I had to get creative! I didn't like it, but it worked. If there's a brand that works without having to drill and dremel, that would be great...
Let me know if you can. I have the Cali Dream hood waiting to go on the car, but haven't because I didn't want to start drilling again.

So which hood pin kit are you using then?

The pins are P/N 4256 from Pep Boys, I used the stainless circles from the Ford Racing pins set because they were thicker than any of the other sets I found which were just thin tin. The FR pins were not long enough and the pins I used were 4"+/- long with the clip holes closer to the top.
