Just bought a set of locking hood Pins. Wheres a good spot to put them? I was thinking near the front middle of the car (marked #1). I've also seen them near the side of the hood (marked #2)

 

I would assume that the front would be more effective.

 

mine are in the #1 position

 

any chances of the carbon fiber cracking or anything?

 

acctually they are here... (3)


Edit: duh why not a pic of my own car...

Yes.
Few ways around that, go slow...
go slow.

go slow

and most important go slow.


A propper bit to cut clean will help wrapping around the area etc will help too.

Mine came out ok... I really didn't want to use pins but only way to clear my motor

Cover the area in masking tape.

Thats another great tip slipped my mind thanks Tim

 

all that stuff too ^^ lol

My eye bolts used to be the inner headlight bolts drilled out. Now that I got JDM headlights I made a custom eye bolt that is the same thread and all as the stock bolts on the bottom
