Yours looks like the GTS-3 hood, please take lots of pictures when it is painted as so far this is the hood of choice for me.

Boltzman,

Are you happy with those hood pins after having them a little while? Do they rattle at all (could you hear it fi they did?)

I don't see anything that says they are stainless steel. I LOVE the look and I'd really like to use them, but I'm a little concerned on the rusting....

Beautiful ride, though... The Roush bumber is my next addtion - makes the car look nasty....

Bill

Next on deck are 275/40's on the rear and my slotted/drilled rotors sitting in my garage which I AM going to attempt to do myself

Has anybody cured the hood flutter problem? Do the hood pins stop the problem or just catch the hood in case it comes flying off.
My starts to flutter a lot after 70

pins pretty much cured mine. you can still see slight lifting on sides when going fast. not enough to be concerned about.

Here's the new fascia and the Steeda Hood pins. The pins COMPLETELY solved the hood flutter problem at all speeds. They need to be carefully adjusted so they are snug!
