RE: OMG. I need hood pins ASAP!
Wish they had pictures - seem like they would be tough to install.

Has anybody tried or seen these in use? http://coastfab.com/specials.html#aerocatch
Price is not too bad and they are unique - seems like a good option if you want to avaoid the same old hood pins that have been around for 40 years.

Install looks a little more involved but honestly not too bad. If you're putting a hole in the hood why not go big and make it different.

Rogan, Here's the only picture I have of the weatherstrip, the credit goes to another MustangForums member. I'll take some of my car if anyone needs clearer pictures. The weatherstrip (the thick stuff) basically goes across the front top edge of each headlight:
Adjusting the hoodstops can require several tries. Half a turn here, there, then back on the highway to try it out. Hope this is helpful.

I really think that if a manufacturer makes a car capable of going 140 mph that they should make the rest of the car capable, including the hood latch!
