Whats up with that safety latch?? seems like it would have better to just unbolt it.

I'm just going to replace the hood with another stock one since I like the way it looks but I think I'm going to put hood pins on the next one.

Wow, this same thing happened to a girl i know not too long ago, When your hood fliped open did it tear the cowel between the glass and the hood?
Yup! Cracked it! The windshield guy tried to fix it the best he could but I guess I'm going to have to look for another one so if you know anyone that has a good used one cheap please let me know!

John
most used ones are broken or faded badly.. i had to buy mine new... those things are pricey too... its 150 bucks for that dang piece of plastic.

so wait your stock hood flew up for no reason? that is scary... why would that happen? I never thought it was something I would need to worry about until I replaced the stock one..

At least you smashed your hood in before this guy got to it:
