I just installed them myself and I only had one issue with the writeup. Even with the pins holding two or three threads on the bottom they were still not high enough for the pins to clear the hood. I ended up cutting two holes to insert the nut through that end up covered by the radiator cover, put the bottom nut inside the radiator support, and tightened it down that way. Other than that everything worked out just fine, great writeup.

Update: put on the lanyards (they look amazing) and i fixed the little depression in the hood just by taking the metal plates off, cleaning the screw holes up with a dremel slightly wider than 1/8, then replacing the metal plates and screws.

For anyone interested. I never really cared for the look of the screws that came with the hood pin kit so I decided to replace them with 1/8" stainless steel short rivets. The look is really clean and they have a lesser chance of coming loose. Of course you will need to accept that they are a more permanent solution and can't be removed as easily.
