IFC fiberglass hood

Pictures as promised... Where the rubber grommet goes, the hood has a nice flat area (i.e. that's where it's supposed to go). But, since my hood is fiberglass, I thought I'd reinforce the area a little bit with a piece of aluminum epoxied in place. I also used some epoxy to help hold the clip in place (since it would have originally been mounted in sheet metal.)
And, then for the body, I made a little sheet metal bracket and welded it onto the wheel arch. I can only assume it's approximately where the factory put it... it's right where the rod naturally pointed to.

Reviving an excellent old thread ... curious to know if the clips for the hood stay come with the stay. If not anyone know the part number for the clips. Can't see anything on the PET.
