    hmm.. you just need at least one other friend to help you out..

    a panel puller will also be useful.. and if you intend on keeping your spray nozzles and don't have the holes pre-drilled... you need a dremel and a facemask.
    LEDs.... yay!

    Go with the Aero hood latches. They are sharper, more secure, and cut down on turbulence. Most CF hood manufactures are adding hood latch plates so that you are not required to have hood pins.

    You still might be able to convert to Aero latches. Deft Racing sells them
