whats the wheel and tire combo and how much is it lowered?
Front: 18x9, 265/35/18
Rear: 18x10, 315/30/18

Full MM coilover conversion (Front/Back), with an IRS swap in the rear. So I don't know exactly how low, but I can wedge one finger in between the fender and top of the tire. I just kept spinning the lower spring perch until I got it exactly where I wanted, haha.

Another angle (only had a 285 in the rear in this shot):

anyone have pics of under the hood where they installed the hood pins?
i'll have my hood next week.. have to figure out a place for the hood pins.
kinda dont wanna drill holes in the cobra..but better safe than a busted windshield.
not sure how much my hood is gonna weigh. i've seen alot of cars with fiberglass hoods with no hood pins.

I'll try to grab a shot of where I drilled if someone else doesn't post (car is in storage). I'm not a huge fan of hood pins (my hood does not have a metal reinforced latch section), but I purchased the hood from someone else who ran it on their car with no pins. They drove it that way for over a year. One day on the highway it flew up, hit the center of the roof and left a huge bowl shaped dent; it landed on the side of the road, undamaged (haha). He had the hood repainted, and added pins. I purchased it soon after for a price I couldn't pass up. Always loved how the hood looked on his car (his was also silver).

true.

i had a 4" cowl on my old 94v6.. never put hood pins on it.
just bought a wrecked 95gt and it never had hood pins eitheir and it had a real light weight cobra r cowl hood.

i kinda like the look of hood pins though.
