on the sides is your best bet, the farest to the left and right of the hood, that way the thives can't rip off your hood, but if they have a crowbar, they might be able to, i have 3 hood pins, so that helps when the alarm is going off.

i have no fram meaning it just the stock plastuc frame under the hood without the metal or wat not, meaning the if u simply press the middle of the hood it bends up and down (now thats weight reduction)

i typically charge anywhere from 35 - 60 depending on what car. as mentioned already i believe find a spot closest to the fenders which will make getting the hood up by force most difficult!!

Oh my god installing a CF Hood is easy it's just 4 bolts, have someone hold it for you, if your a ghetto savage like me, i used a steak ande butter knife to cut my hood pins, make sure u get it right, it's real easy to do
