I just got the carbon fibre GT front and rear lids from Neo 914 and I am very pleased! The look beautiful over 90% of the surface, and need lots of help on the other 10%. I'm not too worried because I've fixed plenty of fibreglass and epoxy surboards, and the delam and holes in these lids will be a very similar exercise.
BUT, rather than patch the holes someone (maybe it was you!) drilled in the front lid I might actually put in the hood pins. The idea I guess was to go for the 914 GT look with the pins in the hood. After doing the famous Search on 914 Garage, I can't seem to locate a source, or even a decent picture, of the 914 GT front hood pins. Acutally, there is another 914 GT web page, Armando's (spelling?), that shows the backing plates and some hardware, but not the top view of the finished look. Anybody know a good source for nice looking pins to fill the approx. 1/2 inch dia. holes (4) in the front of this hood? Any pictures of finished options would be awesome too!

I should get the car back from the mechanic this weekend and can have a go at a test fit - I'll have my fingers crossed (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
This forum rocks! I was hoping to see GT pics by the end of the day and allready there are 2 new strings full of them! I have to admit the GT pin set-up seems a little too much for a street-car daily driver like I will have. Besides, without flares I am far from anything close to a GT.... I've got 3 good pics of the car so far... with the eminent return to my garage fast approaching I hope to snap off a few more pics, upload them, and finally get the whole pictorial to bore everyone with. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rocking nana.gif) Thanks for all the info on pins - FYI Auto Atlanta seems to have a very authentic looking (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) set for sale, but they haven't emailed me back with details.
