i believe body work shops will do it, but just look around and call performance shops that do work. its pretty easy to do yourself though.

go there and do it yourself. they are not hard to do. about 1 hour at very most. but those quotes you got were pretty good. if you cant handle it, rest assured you arent getting raped at those install prices.

like momo or sparco hood pins.

don't cheap out too much cuz the cheap ones rust.

60-75 bucks to get hood pins installed looks like a fair price to get it installed. my friend got his installed for 80 but that included hoodpins and a hookup.

but yea if you think about what they are doing. they are drilling a hole into your precious hood. one slip of the drill or if they measure wrong could mean disaster. if you are uneasy about it, you might want to let a shop do it. i mean if you fuck up, you're to blame, you're gonna have to pay to fix things. if they fuck up, they're the ones to blame.

they do online, but they have the $20 shitty ones. if you really want those, you'll have to call your local autozone and ask them, but they dont carry the sparco or momo pins, and anything else will rust or do a shitty job.

autozone and pep boys storesl ike that might carry ones made my companies like apc and 3a racing and spectre. i know the one near my house does. but yea go with momo or sparco. uhm pep boys and autozone's aftermarket catalog is getting bigger and bigger so u might be able to special order from them, if u hate shopping on the net or something. might cost more but its local
