yup, just install them right and u wont have a problem. another good security feature

 

anyone have any experience? thnx for the responses btw.

 

yeah, i have 4 hood pins. I took out my hood latch and hinges.

It works fine. only suggestion is locking pins so people cant jack your ****.

 

anyone could pop your hood then

 

I've installed pins w/no latch on my car and several other peoples cars with 0 problems. Hood locks would be better (like the ones your looking at, providing they aren't a POS)

 

fix the latch first...then use those...
trust me i had bad experience with those hood locks.

 

 

up

i would too

 

As I said above, I ran with 4 hood pins, no latch and no hinges. Drove to KY from NY and then back.

With normal hood pins you will not have a problem. I am unsure about the locks.
You could always fix the latch

 

Locks are supposed to be used in conjunction with your stock latch

 

Aww man, i shoulda searched first. Too late, i already ordered the NRG ones for like 30 bucks shipped! Could have saved like 20 bucks!!!
