Just got the car back, updated pix***
I just recently got my car back from the body shop, and finally gotten a chance to take a few pics of the hood pins and new paint. For those that dont know what im talking about, https://my350z.com/forum/exterior-and-interior/294115-for-those-with-hood-pin-questions-pix.html explains it all.
There was quite a bit of modifications needed to get the hood pins in right, for instance, you can see in a few of the pics, that there was a little section of the radiator support had to be cutten out and a bracket made, also, since the curviture of the hood is so great, and the angle of the hood coming down, the actual pin had to be bent so that it would go in the latch straight.
This new hood I got was way better quality the last Seibon Carbon hood I had for some reason... Maybe a better batch of molds?? Anyways, I love the new look, definatly better than before the accident.
Enjoy guys, and if you dont have anything to add to my thread, then stay out.
Thanks

Thanks guys!! I appriciate the comments. I do need some spacers, but I am still running 2.5 degrees negative camber, so im sure that why it looks like my offsets are conserative.
