MPD F1 hood help



I picked up an MPD F1 used from a member on another forum. The fiberglass is good. All you have to do is use the existing hood struts and bolts and you are done.

I got mine painted for $350 and that included any blending done to the fenders.

True...looks like I can get it done for aroud 400 from a shop I talked to today. Everyone i know has had perfect results there. I will give it a try
 


Before I forget, do you plan on installing hood pins? Been a few horror stories with people having their hoods come up and smashing the windshield and roof, not to mention what it turns your $500 hood into. Some get away fine, others not so much. Some people say it ruins the look.

I personally would run pins. Too much money to risk if something goes wrong. That $40 worth of pins could save you a lot in the long run. I don't trust the stock latch to keep it in place, steel reinforced area in the hood or not. Just my .02.
