Here's my issue. I bought a new hood for my stang and it uses hood pins for the front and rear. Ive got the front figured out but can't decide where to mount the pins in the rear. Any of you guys using hood pins care to share how you did it? Thanks in advance.

what do you mean in the rear, like the trunk???

I have seen guys mount them through the factory hood hinges

Why in the world would you want a pin on hood?

unless its a drag only car, a pin on hood is kinda not the best option, somebody could litereally come by and steal the hood off ur car in a matter of seconds, now itd be different it it was just a hood that still used the hood hinges, and just front pins

that would suck if someone just straight up came and jacked your hood lol, i know i need some pins for the front of the hood, my hood has flew open on me twice now and its a bitch

I got the Hood dirt cheap. This isn't a DD. It was orignally a bolt on hood and pin in the front. But where the bottom bolt goes to the stock hinges he drilled it out to put pins in the rear. Since its a fiber hood I was thinking about filling the holes at the back of the hood where it mount to the hinges and re-tapping the hole. Then I could mount it to the factory hinges and use pins up front.

I have the hinges welded in position then the hood pins run through the hinges. Works realy well.

Theres nothing wrong with lift off hoods as long as you don't mind lifting your hood off. Don't mind PRO50SC.

Thats a good idea. I will give that a shot. Thanks for your help

I would not add a pin on a hood as well. Thats asking to be taken from you.
