Why use hoodpins

[Wicked One]

This is why you use hoodpins, even on a stock hood.

Looks like I am gonna be getting some soon. (need a job)

been in a car that happened to, and it is possibly one of the scariest things that can happen.

I noticed that 05-up owners all speak of hood shake, and that alone would make me get them....

That happened to me in my first car a Chevy Beretta. I hit a deer, had the car fixed and was driving home from the body shop. I was doing about 55 mph and WHAM hood into windshield . One of the guys working on the car didn't install the latch properly :smash:. Scary as hell, especially @ 16 yrs old just having my license for 3 months!

[irishpwr46]

they are an easy install. i have mine where the outside bumpstops used to be. i also have the radiator mounts, but cant use them because of my cowl. i got the upr shelby knockoffs
