i see everybody with hood pins...
Everybody? Hmmmm...I'd better go out and buy some. Everybody?.....Hardly!

I'm pretty much into functional mods. If I put a lighter hood on then I will install them. Otherwise, mine is good.

Take a valium spaz boy. They are a functional item to keep the hood closed in case of hood latch failure at high speed. They are also a traditional muscle car appearance item but I guess that fact slipped past you.

I like them, I just don't think they're going on MY car.

I don't go over 100 that often, but the one time I did hit 135 the hood was bobbing like crazy, it was pretty scary. If I lived in Germany with the autobahn I would definately be getting them... the real ones.

wow maybe i should get them then considering i drive no less then 110 everyday on the way to work
That would be a smart investment then yes...
So would a Life Insurance policy that pays out due to negligence and irresponsibility... Wait... what am I saying? I'm negligent and irresponsible once in awhile myself. Must be aS197 thing...
Agreed. Maybe you should reconsider the 110mph thing EVERYday...Sooner or later, something bad will happen. Trust me, sometimes I hit high speeds but it is FAR from everyday. BE safe out there

If I get a fiberglass hood I will have hood pins. Do I like the way they look? Not really but they are a great safety feature.

Judging by how fast we sell out of our 2005-2008 Ford Mustang Authentic Chromed Hood Pin Appearance Kit I would say they're pretty popular. We can't keep them on the shelf!
