I have been toying with adding “real” hood pins, but…………the thought of the drill bit slipping, or perhaps drilling the hole slightly off, etc….makes me consider going with the fake pins as well…………
Pretty much every 70-74 Challenger that I've seen had them from the side. Most Cudas have them comming in through the front. My T/A has the from the side also. Besides I personall think they look better from the side.
