[pinoyesv6]

[kolio]

[SinSere]

Yeah, huge hole, but nice job cuttin it. Curious why you switched. I have your old ones on my Eclipse.

[fatal1]

they look good hopefully they will hold a lot better then the others, brakes look good too, nice upgrade

[mrjaydeeone]

thanks for all the compliments.
all the wiring will be cleaned up soon enough @ DOHCstunr

Yeah, huge hole, but nice job cuttin it. Curious why you switched. I have your old ones on my Eclipse.
Yeah huge hole, but Angel did a great job cutting them out for me
I switched them cause the little rod that holds the pin locked fell out on the passenger side one and the hood was kinda flapping a little, and I started to notice that the one on the drivers side was getting ready to slip out also. I was driving around like this for over a week LOL

I also have no hood latch holding the hood down, so I am very dependant on the hood pins.

[furiousgtz]

[GOOSEY2099]

Sleepervr-4 did a hell of a job!

[Sleepervr-4]

:D

[02on19s]

nice man - always wondered what those looked like installed - good job 8)

[glantv699]

nice upgrades

I thought silver calipers looked good on my car but they look awesome with yours as expected. It's always nice when you can match mechanical parts with the car's aesthetics.

[Kalamidad]

that's cool j. i'd like to do a rear disc conversion but Denver scared me out of it talking about how they may lock up on me. Enjoy man. The hoodpin install looks good too.

[4g63lover]

hoodpins look good. and the rear discs are cool too. I want to do mine soon.. but im broke.

[SkylineG1]

Well with those 19"s that you've got now you'll need all the stopping power that you can get

[Kenneth G]

So this is what Allan meant by pile of mashed potatoes = Cali spec... that means I have a Fed spec Galant... slightly faster than your average! 8)

lol, what i meant is that when i measured it out, the holes would have had to be cut right on the edge of the hood which would not have worked at all.

[Jeffylou87]

hmm mashumtaters...

how ? you go a few inches in from the top radiator mounts ... maybe on a 7g hood that the edge?
