this is on my 4th gen lude btw

Thanks

 

Welcome, I notice you on IA. Sorry I can't help but Good Luck

I hope you searched cause you will get alot of that here.

 

yea i did a basic search and didnt find anything

 

use the holes in the front of the engine bay. hard to explain in the front where all the warning labels are and stuff theres the holes you use

 

ok ill get a closer look tomorrow morning and see which holes your talking about

 

hood pins = teh gay

 

unless you are building a race car, why do you need them?
I respect that you are trying to work on your car and all but thats just my opinion.

hood pins help against theives if you have an alarm. well locking hoodpins do, otherwise all they have to do it reach in from the bottom center and pull the hood lach cable, from there they can disconnect your battery and then break into your car.

they also are good when you add a carbon fiber hood because i heard of many stories of the latches on hoods breaking and ruining the winshield/sunroof, and could also be dangerous if driving.

otherwise hoodpins are pointless on a stock hood or with no alarm.

hope this helps you out.

 

Thats understandable, at first he didnt say it was a CF hood

 

deff get on that man. Hood pins will save your wind sheild and you will be alot happier. Ill post a pic for you tomarow or sometime soonas to wher ei put mine.

 

I personally like the pins that aren't really pins just flush keyholes that use those round keys

a friend of mine had his hood latch break on his hood goin down the highway. Seein him spend almost $2k to get it fixed convinced me to get them.

 

There is one hole on each side of your upper radiator support that
you can use to mount them and get them perfectly even.

Hey, this is Hulud's brothers. He already got the forbidden short shifter, which might i add is very nice. I was going to make him a cooling plate, but for only $50 he decided just just get forbidden's. He's going to order it soon.

 

http://www.sportcompactonly.com has hoodpins. and yeah tell your bro he's only got 5 posts so he should probably just edit his posts until he's out of trial.

ps.. not sure if you bought them already or what lol.

 

yea if you get the flush mount with the round key.....make sure the Coke man doesnt want to steal your car LOL

 

best i have come across is http://www.hoodpins.com

i'm gonna pick these up when i get another CF hood

 

yea i ordered them already

 

is there no difference between the circle keys? making them unique to the application or can any one with them circle keys unlock it?

 

lmao my friends cf hood smacked his winshield and he has a d16 powered eg

 

anyone have pics of where to place the pins at?
