Where is the best location to install hood pins in a fiberglass hood? I have seen people put there where the hood bumpers go but I would like to keep mine.

Mine are installed about an inch away from the hood bumpers. take a look at one of the 95 pics in my garage. You have to do some cutting on the side to able to put them there.

It is all personal preference. I put mine where the hood bumpers go, and then on the pin itself below the hood I have a piece of rubber hose to push up against the hood to act as the bumper. Pretty much anywhere on the rad support will work, it is just a question of what looks good to you.
 
Here is a picture of mine installed, its pretty old picture but they are still in the same location
