RE: Hood pins

I thought that I saw the twist down hood pins on a S197. Maybe the 08 GT500KR? I had the hood pins and cable on my 67 coupe a long time ago and I just remember it being a PITA. But I really do like the twist down pins. fd

I personally dont like the steeda pins.I was looking into the twist down hood pins like on the GT500KR like the 68-70's. I dont think these are going to fit though. might be to short.

RE: Hood pins
Thanks gentlemen for the input. Yes I will put functional pins on. When I am on the interstate or pass a semi it scares the heck out of me.I have a 70 Mach1 with twist downhood pins and they are to short for the hood on the 05, but I would perfer the twist down ones also.[:@]

Mine came with my hood I bought used, not sure if these are the pins you're talking about.
But they work great, and risk not scratching or rubbing on the paint, or someone steeling your pins.

I am thinking of putting Steeda slide style hood pins on my car for safety. I have the steeda cowl induction hood. Need you guys thoughts.Would it look good.

RE: Hood pins
Blah, I had no choice as I bought the hood used with the slide pins already installed.
But I do like how they line up with the fogs. Anywhere else it just wouldnt be uniform with anything.
Plus makes for a very easy pin install.

Mine are farther apart, but I think it depends on which hood they're on.

And maybe flat black the shiny aluminum behind the grill.
It really shows up as bad in these pics.[:@]
