Why not just sell them if you don't want to drill holes in your hood?

Does your hood fly open at high speeds? Any specific reason for the pins?

This is one mod you should seriously do yourself. All you have to do is have care and take your time. Very simple to accomplish. I hope you're not doing this on the stock hood = rice.

stock hood . . .NO, and im doing to try and fix the spacing between the bumper and the hood because the latch is bent so the hood closes to far on one side.

And im ok when it comes to DIY stuff but if I F*** it up thats a nice 500 down the drain so I was just wondering if there were some shop that were expert at doing it or even some expert members

Why not bend it back? A heck of a lot easier than drilling holes in your hood and looking like many a civics out there.

Bending back could crack the hood more by putting pressure on the latch.

I dont mind the holes, I just dont have the ***** to do it myself, and rice? thats when you do it just for looks and my hood is fraglie as it is so the less stress I put on it the better so I have a reason to be putting them on there.
