My talon has a nice VIS c/f hood. it needs hoodpins though. i have the hoodpins but im not sure how to install them. im assuming you drill holes in the hood, but is c/f easy to drill? also im not sure how to mount the pins to the chassis. sorry i sound like an idiot, im really not. i just play one on tv.

The only tip I have is to run the drill bit in reverse if you're drilling into thin carbon, otherwise you should be able to run it normally. I'd try it in reverse first, as that will help keep it from chipping, and then if its taking too long, run it forward. We've never used anything more than 3-layers before, and I'm sure your hood is thicker than that. If you accidently crack it while drilling, you can repair it with fiberglass, but it won't be pretty anymore.
