I wouldn't last 2 weeks without getting a ticket.

Think you're going to have to.

Two aftermarket products connected to each other...bound to be some discrepancy.

Yeah...they are expensive.

You know...for what you want to do with your CL...

I would rec. hood pins.

I spent a great deal of time going over this...

I want them...I don't think anybody is running hood pins on their CL...including myself.

Couldn't find any good spots to physically install the hood pins and the import shop didn't want to mess with it.

They did highly rec. the hood pins...so did a bunch of other people I know.

On the CL forum was the only place that people didn't think it was necessary so I don't know...I'm conflicted.

Those flush mounted look even more difficult to install...if you mess up...you're screwed.

My hood shakes when I go above 75 mph and I don't feel comfortable with it.

Actually has made me slow down in general since my CF hood install.

^ Good choice.

For the bumper covers...you can't really go used and make it worth it.

Body shop told me they don't even want to mess with used because it cost more in labor than just purchasing a new one.
