Default Just put on my hood pins!

I know hood pins arent some awesome performance part but all those parts dont do you a lotta good if you got a hood smashed into youre widshield. Anyways that has to be one of the most stressfull but rewarding parts to put on youre car. Im glad I finally got them out of the way. How do you guys think I did.

I used the Ford Racing Stainless Steel package. Very high quality stuff. I was very happy with the quality. I was thinking of putting those small locks through them just to keep my stuff safe what do you guys think.

ya until it breaks the fiberglass, and your hood goes into the windshield, destroys your cowl, and you crash into oncoming traffic

jrhaden-- i kept the latchpart that you undo from under the dash, that waypeople cant just take out the pins and get into the engine bay. Also those rings are going to rust cause their chrome, i have a goodfix for thatif you want to know

Speak up. I bought the MR. Gasket and they are junk, rusted in a couple weeks. I am thinking of going the ford racing route. For now I had them painted when I painted my hood.
