Admittedly, the mounting locations are a bit dispaportinate, however that comes as a function of the individual whom mounted the aftermarket hood. The pin mount points are fully symmetrical, which was the best I could do short of some FG work on the hood and relocation of the mounting points.

I am going to work on repairing the smashed portions of the hood next week, his hood popped open whilst doing 60mpg, hence the need for the pins.

Thanks for the compliments, guys.

Two other points:
(1) For anyone installing these on their own car, the instructions SUCK and were written in language such that a Mechanical Engineer should be close by for interpretation. I read about a third of the way through and picted the directions and went off of what should logically work, and it did

(2) The lambo doors go VERY well with the car. I'm pissed I did not get better pics; the paint is actually this insane candy red w/ metallic flake and he's got 19" Modas (I think). I love to flame rice as much as the next guy, but honestly - this car is anything but and has the ***** to back it up
