Having trouble making an easy decision. My Civic is white with an ABS dynamics OEM style carbon fiber hood. No other colors on the outside that would make this easier. The hood is in its carbon form on the raised part of the hood and painted white on the lower parts (where the pins would go).

I GOT THE MUGEN ONES THEY ARENT THAT GREAT

 

Not the "faux carbon" please. If you want pins then at least have them "look how they look" if you know what I mean. Are you removing your hood latch?

 

Why not just get a hood you can use with your stock latch? Looks 100 times better without pins anyways

 

out of the 3 i would go with the nrg

word

 

Latch is staying. But I've heard things about the lighter hoods breaking free from the latch on the highway.

Better safe than sorry. I'd rather have a hood on my car with ugly hood pins than my hood on someone elses car.

 

I like the moroso hood pins better than any of those posted up there...

NRG with lock

 

Thanks for the input guys. I like the moroso ones for the simplicity of them. But I appreciate the lock on the NRG ones.

I'll go with NRG.

 

i dont preferably like hoodpins but if i had to...id go with the nrg

 

the key locking ones liek the NRG break all the time, ive had a few friends with them and thye just break randomly, one of them has gone threw 2-3 sets of them

and i would never run a CF hood without hood pins, it might be slightly unatractive but id rather have 2 pins on my hood, than be buying another hood, windshield and having to pull the apillars back into shape and replacing the roof skin when the hood flips up at 70-80mph

 

Get this one from Top Secret

 

Those are NICE.

Expensive though. I don't know if I can justify spending nearly $200 on hood pins.
That may have to be a birfday present.. to myself.
