Lets Talk About Hood Pins.

[billison]

Ok, like many, I've wondered if I needed them. Each time I see a post of a destroyed hood, cowl, and roof I get scared. The problem is how ugly hood pins are.

Looking for more of a discussion. When are hood pins needed?

Always? Even with a stock hood?

When you drive at the track?

When the safety latch is removed?

Myself I have the factory latch and the safety installed on a cirvinis Hood that is only street driven. Is a third catch really required?

IMO they are a must anytime you add a fiberglass hood

If I had an aftermarket hood, I'd definitely use pins. Those flush mount types they have now aren't bad looking.

^ same

Only with aftermarket hood, flush mount, black coating if I can find it
