wow very nice

 

Looks clean. Not like everyone elses hoodpins

 

thats got me thinkin.....the black ones would look ultra pimp on my car...so would regular hood pins too though. decisions decisions

 

i like them because when i wash the car i won't have to deal with hooking my sponge on them. also they are made of some aircraft composite sh*t that won't rust and the pins are anodized with stainless nuts. i hate rust!

 

I have to agree they look damn good! You and I were discussing hood pins when you found those,you got me thinking...those do look good. I am still partial to the '70's sytle. But i just found out that they came in different lengths. How do you like the Ram Air hood? do you notice any performance pro/cons? ,,Oh yea I ordered the honeycomb also,I can't wait to get it on the car. Was the install a no brainer?

 

yeah the install for the rear panel was mindless just peel and stick. i couldn't tell any performance gains from the hood. there may be something at higher speeds aloowing more cold air to enter the filter but i didn't expect anything it just liked it and got it cheap on ebay. i don't like the looks of hood pins much but with the ram air hood there is a lot of pressure under the hood now and that caused the hood to start lifting especially on the drivers side at 70mph and up. i just didn't want to have my hood fly open one day on the highway or at the track doing 100mph. i saw a 05 with the 70's style locks and i liked that but a whole kit cost about $200 for the long style and the ones i used are only $80 a set. i liked the fact they were black composite with anodized and stainless hardware...no rust ever.

 

Do you find that they are working well at the higher speeds. If anyone has a picture of them on a black hood....I'd love to see them!
