I am currently saving up for a 1998 Cobra R 3 1/2 inch cowl hood for my 97 GT...Do you guys think it would look stupid if i was to get the chrome hood pins?? I know its not needed, but I think it would look pretty cool. If so, do you know where I can get some at?? I saw the ones at mustang tuning, but they look too cheesy to me, with the wire connecting it. I dont like that...let me know guys

 

Actually, as far as looks, it's personal preference if you like them or not. But as far as if they are needed, a lot of performance shops recommend using them on lightweight fiberglass hoods. So I'd say if you like them, get them, if not, leave it be. I am seriously thinkin about putting them on when i get my new hood painted. I'd hate to have the hood come up at 100+mph.

 

I don't like the look of them. I like more of a clean look personally. However if they are needed or recommended, you might want to get them...

 

do you guys know of any sites that seels them...the kind without the long wire?? such as these: i think these are so ugly

Just don't get the ricer stick-on hood pins!

If you are going to do it, do it!

 

I worked at Advance Auto Parts and they have a nice set that does not have the long cables, i believe they are made by Mr Gasket. We installed them on our drag car last summer.

 

yeah thats what I'm trying to stay away from are the stick ons with the long *** cable. I want to get true hood pins, but i can't find anywhere that sells them [:@]

Try this site and look at part # 1017 i don't know how to correctly post a link but if that doesn't work its partsamerica.com (advance auto parts) then search for hood pins, they have a few other also. See what you think
