That's cool, I'll check out some local stores. How does this kit look for now?:

I can't remember where I got them from - I ordered online... They are made by Mr.Gasket though, so you should be able to find them at Summit, Jegs, JC Whitney, etc.. Cost around $20 and since they lock, I removed the whole latching mechanism deal from under the hood to smooth all of that out as well (though I kept the lever "dealy" that you have to squeeze to open the hood as a safety).

Ummm... Yes.
That is, it depends on where you want to put it into the frame rail/radiator frame thingy. If you want to drill new holes or use existing ones.
There was already a hole here, with a larger hole underneath for threading the nut on the backside, that's why I went with that.
After drilling a hole somewhere else. Of course.

well i use formula 113 with beadx all the time.
as for the function:
well the power gain from them is insane
(yeah right). seriously, i have the hood from up22 and it is really light. when the hood was first put on, it shook like all hell. when i went on the highway the front of the hood would look like it was going to let loose(yes i do have the latch on it). being how i have $600 invested in this hood, i didnt want to lose it. the pins are there to hold the hood from flying off. they work fine and were very easy to install. hey, for about 15 bucks its worth it.
