that plus put some masking tape over whereever it is your drilling.

 

and use a dremel

It does?

 

Like everyone already said: Use a small bit (I'd recommend a "glass and tile" bit), tape off the area you will be drilling w/ masking tape, and let the bit do all the work (don't push down too hard on the drill when you're drilling). Do all that and you should be good

 

how about no pins?

 

[QUOTE=Chunty *** Kevin]how about no pins?

That's like asking "How do I install a turbo?" and someone replying "How about you stay all motor?"

 

i dont want my hood flying up.

if ur really worry..pay body shop to do it..they *** it they buy new one..

 

the least this guy could've done was use black duct tape so it would blend better
