Mr gasket make's them. They are a royal pain in the *** to install. At least on my fiberimages hood. I know ,I'm in the middle of doing it. The part that sucks is the studs sit horizontal on the radiator support but the locks are on the same contour of the hood so you need to angle the studs somehow so they are at the same angle. I'm going to finish mine tonite so I will let you know what I did.

 

cool, thanks guys.

Ever get it to fit. Mine sure wont stay. Im thinking of making a circular shim to make them in the same plane.

 

dont install them! biggest pain in the *** to install like somone noted. Their built more for level hoods, the mounting is a pain in the *** cuz you gota mount it at an angle, also. The bolts arent even steel, they aint even metal i dont think. we broke one when we installed mines and tried welding it on, damn thing melted, the pieces holding the hood closed arent even strong at all, a good crowbar and you could break them off easily. Get yourself an alarm with a hood switch trigger. Trust me its the best way, I currently still have my hood pins but cant wait for the day i get another hood to take em off, not worth the holes in my hood nor the pain in the *** it was to install them.

 

Too late

Holes already drilled

 

I did a explanation in another post but I cany find it
This is the finished product.

 

Summit has them too, I have been looking for these for a while, depending on where you install them deems on how hard the are to install.

LOL, see what happens when they cant open your hood?
They break your window!
Looks alot better without them IMO

 

I picked mine up at Pep Boys.
And yes they are a bitch to put in.
Some ******* tried to pop my hood
last sat. They bent my hood locks up
and were able to unlock them but they
couldn't open my hood.

 

Well my hood is carbon so if someone wanted in , it wouldnt be to hard. I like them because when some thug asks me to pop the hood at the gas station I say its not my car , it's my buddys and I dont have a key. Plus I was putting in hood pins anyway, so I did these instead.

Had to install these. It seems you could pop the hood by accessing the hood cable from the drivers side wheel well. That's what the ******* did to open my hood and despite having an alarm, when your car is parked where you can't hear ithe siren these theiving mudderfudders will do some damage. Now the hood doesn't stay shut all the way cause the cable is all bent so the latching mechanism does not engage the plunger. I didn't have a choice but to install them. Easy with the right tools.

 

i have them and love them
