Thanks everyone for the kind words, both about my future wife, and the car
She said she was ready for some cocktails and hanging out at Woodward and the Dragon this year

Unless you have a significantly lighter CF hood, you would not need them. Do you have an aftermarket hood?
Depending on how the cross wind is sometimes I would see shaking at 50, other times at 100+

and congrats on the future wifey... does she have a sister?
Sister, yes, she is a an attorney too
with a husband and kid LOL
I will try to get a few uploaded this week, but with getting the car ready for woodward, it may not get done. If I forget, PM me because it is not very straightforward because of how the nut is welded to the radiator support.

LOL you may have, but on mine, I could not drill and tap them, it did not get the pins high enough. When removing the welded nuts, we tried to twist them off, nothing, added some heat, still nothing. We removed the front clip and took an air hammer to them, nothing. Finally we ground them off, drilled out the hole and added a cinch style nut with the correct threads - works like a charm and still fully adjustable. Thanks again for the tip on the pins, sir!
