DON'T PAY SOMEONE TO PUT HOODPINS IN! all you need is a drill and a few wrenches...

Nahh going to keep it all mostly 3rd gen for the interior.....only thing thats different....is i added a formula decal up front...plus my sound system is installed. Other then that is all stock for the interior......i figure ill keep it that way and have the "stock look" for the interior......but have it be mint......and then modify my engine somewhat.......the paint/decals/and moldings are all brand new. So arent the rear and front fenders/headlight housings/radiator/tires/center caps/exhaust/carpet/ and im refinishing my rims as we speak.....got one more left.

NO Fsckin Way!

You're THAT close to Amherst?

my g/f goes/went there, and I've been visiting her every weekend. Must've passed by you're house within 5 miles about 100 times...not miles (edited)...


(sorry...I was checking out your car...looked at the plate to see where you were from, then saw that Massachusetts look....Which prompted me to check the left of the screen for you locale, and search to find where Granby is....)

U-mass Amherst is a wild friggin school, man. High-rises as dorms. Crazy lot of people there. Something like 20,000. Did you see the riot that happened there last year when the Yank's lost the world series? They went NUTZ! Burning stuff, starting fights. Made URI look like sunday school.

Unless you're talking about Amherst U, or whatever its called, in which case you prob don't know what I'm talking about!

well ill prolly make an attempt at the hood pins...i just dont like drilling through metal, esp. something like my hood...ill prolly end up me and my boss doin it.
the car has been in my family since 1992, but it has really been in my care for about 3 years...my dad drove it every so often while i did some mods to it, and i got my license a year ago and started driving it...
hood pin install looks easy enough, i think ill do it myself...when i get the ***** to mess with my hood and my paint job

whats so hard about installing hood pins?

1. determine their posistion
2. hit their location (centered) with a punch and a hammer so your drill does not slip
3.drill
4. bolt them on and adjust their height
