HOOD PINS OR NOT.

if you like the hood and getting a deal on it, i would get and take the hood pins off and put the ones you like one it or is it just all hood pin are gay.

Hood pins can be cool but not on late model vehicles unless its a pure drag beast ;). I like the style hood, planning to get one on my SS *someday*, probably next spring and have Timmy finish/paint it :D.

I like it..... :shades

Don't like the Hood pins either but at 130 mph the corners of the hood will start to lift if you don't pin them...... :rockwoot:

What about using Dzus fasteners instead of pins? Less noticeable.

I just don't like hood pins are cars that dont really need them. If I was running 9's with monster slicks then I'd be happy w/ em.

Also what are these less noticable fasteners? Got any pics or a link? Are they the kind you can lock with a key?

Dzus fasteners are the little quarter-turn screws that you see holding on the majority of plastic body panels on race cars.

They're kind of a PITA to mount and use. Just stick with the hood-pins that are already mounted to the hood. You'll be happier with them in the long run.

If the hood is cheap enough take the pins off .Do a fiberglass repair and body filler cause im sure the hood will need a lil work to be perfect depending on there molds!!

There's a lot of fiberglass hoods that require hoodpins....such as mine. It's too thin to put a latch on and needs pins.

[88camaro]

and there cheaper sometimes. mine was $200 less if i would use hood pins then using the latch.
