Here's mine. There were two holes in the support rail about where I wanted my pins so I just enlarged them. As for drilling through the hood I suggest putting tape on both surfaces. It helpskeep your drill bit true going in and it helps keep the carbon fiber from splintering especially when you come out the other side. It wasn't terribly difficult, just checking and rechecking to make sure everything lines up.

what is the point of hood pins

basically for safety purpose...a friend of mine got his CF hood flip over when he was on the way to vegas...this is to ensure it stays in place
