Default That's it, Hood Pins, I don't care what you say...

Ive' been staring at my hood jiggle,move,pop,bump,shake......I'm done. To me the HEadlights were replaced, and the edge of the hood dosen't quite meet the top over the headlight/bumper/(where the mch 1 grill goes?) part, prolly wrecked in the past, this damn hood is freaking me out. I have minor mods(Gear,ShortThrow,CA-Intake,Exhuast) But not a 11 Second Car by far, But she's getting Hood pins, and you can FO if you don't like it!

I like the hood pins. On a side note did you try to adjust the hood bumpers? Maybe they need to be adjusted and that is why the hood isn't sitting right.

Nothin wrong with hood pins, just make sure you get the high quality stick on ones so it really looks like it's there doing something, lol.

I see them on lots of classic cars and my dad's 68 GT500KR came with them factory...so i dont think that they are homosexual. But on some cars i view them as unnecessary though.

All "Lightweight" FG hood should have hood pins or locks although locks are just fancy pins. Most companies, like HO fibertrends where I got my hood recommend pins. Although I never did.
