I got some cheapo ones right now (feel super duper cheap, I don't even know if it's real metal)... any recommendations on hood pins? Nothing mad expensive, but what are some of you guys using?

 

I just installed a set of Moroso Quick Release Hood Pins...they're not as bulky as the Sparco style ones. Here's a link to where I got em. http://www.behrents.com/Mercha...39010

I'll try to post pics of them installed this weekend.

 

Cool, thanks !

 

Anyone using the Sparco's? I think i'm gonna get a set of those and am wondering how they've been w/ others.

Update: 08/11/04 Modified hoodpins to be less conspicuous...plus they were a little midevil looking...filed them down and painted them gray to blend in with the hood more. I'm happy with the results. here are some pics:

Awesome pics! But those won't work for my car as I've already drilled the holes for these larger hoodpins.

Oh yeah...I didn't think of that...I would just order some Sparco Hood Pins...that's what most people use. http://www.inlinefour.com/sparalhoodpi.html

PS: just finished painting mine dark gray(same color as wheels and valve cover)...they should be less noticable now. I am much more at ease while driving on the freeway/interstate now. What a load off.

 

that **** will kill somone , Do they make hood pins with like a key or something to open them.

Thanks man, those look nice - unfortunely, my hood fit so bad and it shook so much that I needed to throw pins on it right away... those lil guys would be nicer, but oh well. Next hood!

 

Bump...for updated pics.

 

That looks really nice mang.

 

ive been using my sparcos for over a year, real happy with them

 

My buddy used Sparco and they rusted in a week. It says right on the package"No Rust". he paid around 50.00

 

well he got ******* worked because i paid 25 for mine and they havent rusted in a years use.
