What did you do to your E9 today?

I was originally going to leave them and then perhaps paint the hood by taking it off the car, sounds as if that is not a fun task to realign

You can drill two 1/8" holes a couple inches apart in the lower hinges before removing and leave the hinges attached to the hood. When you go to reinstall, insert four 1/8" drill bits into the holes to align then tighten it up. Defintely at least a 3 person job.

That’s a nice trick. I’ll keep it up my sleeve in case I decide to take it off.
