Yes stock FTPs. Parts have been listed in my build thread I believe, but I used these:

You'll need the TMIC rubber gasket if you're still running the TMIC.

I researched it for a long time and found that illstreet.com had the best overall price with shipping. Nice guys too. Note that the hoods are drop shipped from ViS itself so if you decide to get one have your vendor call ViS and make sure they are in stock as the inventory system is a little laggy. Mine was supposed to be in stock but ViS didnt actually have any and it took I think 3 months for it to get made and shipped to me.

I have pins but havent installed them yet. I got the AreoCatch ones. They use an FC in their instruction illustrations so that seemed a no-brainer. We've been driving it without at highway speeds and it hasnt popped off but at $600 (plus liability for any damage done by the flying hood to other cars) it makes me nervous so this weekend when it's warmed up we'll put em in.
Nice find, on illstreet!! Cheapest price i've seen. I'll definetly pick the hood up from them, when the exchange rate goes down that's.

I wouldn't mind putting those hood pins on either, they look clean!
