Yes, @mattlqx installed some Aerocatch hood pins on his GT350. Info starts at post #35 below.

Thanks. With the stock GT hood I don't think it will work. I will give it a look. But I did read the build on that thread. Thanks again.

This is on a Tiger racing hood. I drilled out one of the push pin locations for the radiator shroud. I don't know why this location wouldn't work for the stock hood?
I'd go take some detailed pics for you, but my cars in the Body shop.

I was looking in that area to mount them. Thanks for the pic. I hope your car is not damaged to bad.

This is the push pin location I was thinking of using. Looks like the same one you used. Was there a reason you mounted those side ways???

I couldn't download the pic

The fit under the hood was best.
I've seen race teams use them the same way. Whos to say they're sideways.

lol. I was just curious if they fit the contour of the hood better that way.
