I like them

it doesnt look like they have a way of locking, which isnt necessary for a track car

a street car i would want locking capabilities however

Got any links or pics of these on hondas?

They are truly the best looking hood pins ever, I would be so tempted to get a couple purely for the coolness value, although it would def. drop me into hardparker territory as I never race :D

These work really well, we use them to hold hatches shut on boats that see over 150mph and 6-8' seas.

Can be mounted underneath(like on your buddies evo) or on top of the hood as well.

Just ordered mine, cant wait to install.

I thought about getting those a couple years ago...but the cut would need to be very accurate and my math skills aren't that great. Getting the ones I have now to line up correctly was a feat in itself.

Sure...that part I understand...it's getting the pin location through the hood after it's been mounted to the radiator support that is the hard part.

However...they do have some good detailed info on their webpage: http://www.deftracing.com/aero...x.htm
