Default Has anyone put padlocks on there hood pins.

Has anyone done this because my car has a busted latch and no cable. And is this a better way to keep thieves away then me replacing my hood pins with locking ones. Yes i did a search and only found info on locking hood pins not if anyone has used locks.

An old neighbor of mine had a Trans AM and he had some small locks on his. But I've never seen locks on a Honda before.

But those locks are so small, anybody can break them open if they wanted to.

rig a new latch. i am sure you can find a new (used) cable and find a mechanism and all for pretty cheap... best way if i was a thief and saw locking anything keeping me from getting at the engine. that would make me wanna try to start cutting **** off to get to it
