Dzus fasteners.

what camaro396 said...dzus fasteners. I got the racecraft rails as well, and they are VERY nice pieces!

I added 2 more fasteners along the windshield by the cowl, and going to add 2 more on the tail portion of the hood by the mirrors. 1 due to the shape not being quite right, and 2 so they don't flap against the car at high speeds (hood is extremely thin!)

 

wlsmoku you see raccrafters has brakets for cowl Dzus now, if you didnt notice.

 

I saw that, but I cut my cowl out all the way back to the glass, so I was concerned how their bracket would fit.

 

i feel the brackets r a bit pricy... worth the money in u guys opinions?

 

They save a lot of time and hassle. I'm ordering a set.

 

everything about them is better than individual tabs. pricey...absolutely....but what isn't in this game?

 

true... now do u have to shave the lip on the sides of the hood with the brackets? or will it fit fine with the lip?

 

I havn't tried mine yet. But I see one guy trimmed the bracket to make the lip of the hood fit. Thats probably what I'll do, because the hood is already pretty flimsy, I can't imagine it after that lip is trimmed off.

 

i just feel like it will be a pain in the *** to trim it straight.... unless someone could explain it to me how to trim it easily...

 

Shouldn't be too hard to trim it straight. But then again I'm a master with a cut off wheel, angle grinder, and dremel!

We'll see, perhaps I'll just trim the lip of the hood. I'm not sure yet.

 

i dn its just i cant imagine how u can keep the hood straight and not moving... its so big and awkward.... i'd hate to **** it up
