RE: why put the hood handles on an H3?
Like I posted before, I had got one of the plastic ones with handles and the double sided tape install off ebay that cost about 175.00 and while it was OK even though it did not fit as good as it should have, the replacement one by RealWheels is light years better.
But thought of a solution to the double-sided tape issue:
As you can see, I drilled 12 holes into it that go into the oem plastic one it sticks to. I then used one of those drill bits that creates a pit inside the hole (I forgot what they are called). Then I bought small wood screws that had the bevelled off surface under the head. So, once it's done, you can see the results. It actually looks like it's rivetted onto the hood. I'll take a better pic later today. Anyway, anybody that's thinking about buying it has an alternate solution to it flying off in the middle of the highway
Too bad the dumbass at Jiffy Lube tried to pull the hood open with them [:@] I almost smacked him. Wow I can't wait to have my house and change my own oil again.
Oh and THEN they didn't put one of the head sheild bolts back in, and didn't tighten one of the other ones and it was half way out! NEVER AGAIN will I let anybody change my oil. I let them do it twice and they loose parts and almost break the damn thing! nice.
