I don't have any pictures of them but I can tell you that the most difficult part of the installation is simply lining up the pins with where to drill the holes in the hood and finding a location to mount them. You can weld them in place or drill a hole to mount the pins along the front support that holds the radiator.

You don't say what you want to put them on but my thoughts are that they are out of place on anything other than a 60's-70's muscle car.

I would only bother with this mod if I had an aftermarket hood, like carbon fiber. Otherwise I think that it is too much effort for not a whole lot. But other than that I would take sir_nasty's advice.

As they said , they look good on Muscle cars as you can see in the picture.
I go to dozens of car meets and don't ever seem to see them on Tuner MUSCLE cars at all.

I've seen them on CF hoods... If you are auto crossing or racing you can put 4 of them on to hold the hood and then remove all of the pieces that would normally hold up your hood and loose even more weight. I like the look of them on race vehicles that are dressed like a race vehicle, and they are practical for weight reduction purposes and easy access... But I don't consider them a show item for a honda...
