Seriously if you have access to a brake they would be really easy to duplicate. If I had realized how simple they were I would have made my own.

I probably will at least a little bit. But I've also got an idea to turn the battery and run the fuse box in between the battery and the engine. Just to tight everything up to the firewall.
Well it was @Hickey idea so I can't take full credit.

Well after having battery and starter woes and not being able to get the Jeep started I went back to working on the hood again. Got the hood latches installed and put the trim on the edge of the hood where the cuts were made.....
I now get to see how not straight my original cuts were and then debate whether or not I care enough to spend the time straightening them..... spoiler alert, I don't, aerodynamics are for speed nerds and I have bigger problems to deal with.

And here is the hood pins I used. Forgot to take an inside the engine bay pic but you get the idea. There are two very conveniently located holes in the top of the grill sheet metal that fit the bolts for the hood pins almost exactly. So that easily decided where I wanted them to be.

These are a way sleeker look than the set I got from Poly Performance. Internet lore told me that they gum up being in dirty environments. I’ll be curious of your long term review. If good, I’ll likely jump to these.
