Alot of Pro Mod cars and 10.5 Outlaw guys run it. I dont think you would have a problem.

Now adays, I would never Dzus fasten a hood again. I'd rather use the Aerocatch type locks. There's even push button locks that they make these days.

Here's how I did my CRX 8 yrs ago. It was a Fiberglass skin so it needed it all the way around. Pain in the butt though.

Would the small ones be safe for the hood?

NRG did my car a while back. It's got a different front end on it now, but I still retained the Dsus setup.

i would worry about the body panel ripping away from the fastener before the fastener coming open,they hold very tight

Emailed quick latch and they said the Mini's can withstand 200 pounds of pulling force each before failure. I'm ordering a set asap!
