Why use hoodpins

[WolfJR]

Looks like just a little bit of lathe work, and some free goodies from the stock room ( cables washers)

I noticed my hood was doing a lot of dancing on the thruway, i hit 120 at some point and it really started to boogy, looks like its time to get hood pins, dont want to end up like this guy, dont blink, it happens at about 12 seconds

I was lookin at ther site earlier today, couldnt find hood pins though, haha.

I want to do the flush mount 70's style but i cant find them in BLACK, ive seen the Shelby models in black but im not a big fan of the wire loom look but i just might have to go that route cause theres not many other options, most of em are just ugly but functional.

expensive but really well made

Great alternative, thanks for the heads up but your right, really pricey, $200!!!
Id rather use the extra $100 for LCA relocation brackets.
