Default Hood pins....

I realy tried to stay away from hood pins because i dont like the way they look and takes away from my black out look.

But U kinda need them now, the hood latch doesnt hold the hood on right and at high speeds it shakes a bit and once poped open but not all the way.


My question is, im looking for some real nice looking hood pins, I want black anyone know where I cant find these?

Just curious, but what is causing the hood to fly open and at what speeds? It may be best just to fix the problem rather than to just fix the symptom.

try this link I'm not sure if you want all black hardware or just the pins... http://www.allstarperformance.com/product.htm?prod=136
otherwise you may have to get the washers/flats anodized if they are aluminum... or teflon coated.. it'd look sweeeet!

y dont you get good hood pins and have them powder coated? the cheap ones are cheap. i dont trust them they look like they are to small and could brake/bend.

+1 I got hood pins because my hood poped open doing about 90. Scary, the safty latch cought it, but still scary. I have only had them for about 2 months, and they are all rusty and nasty looking. Powder Coating is probably your best bet...
