Default 2013 Hood Pins

I just bought a UPR hood pin kit. Yes i know some of you might think they are lame but i got them for a steal at 50 bucks off ebay and they are actual hood pins not just stickers or anything like that. Just wondering your thoughts and if anyone else had installed used them?

Why on earth would you mess up the clean lines on your hood?

Was your exhaust broke when you replaced it? What about your spoiler was it not functional just like any other spoiler? or do you do 200 plus miles an hour often?

I have yet to see them and I don't really like the look of them. But since you purchased them, if you decide to install take lots of pictures. Maybe some folks need to see them to put it in perspective. Just a thought

I have been going back and forth on getting hood pins. I like the look of them, but I am waiting until I decide if I am getting racing stripes or not as far as placement and overall look. If you like them go for it and install them, don't let anyone else sway ya.

Don't listen to the nay sayers.

When you get them, give them a good test fit and look at them from all possible angles.

If YOU like them, get to drillin!

The only one you have to impress... is you.

I put a custom shift **** on mine, and no my OEM shift **** wasn't broken. My hood stripes were just fine when I removed them too.

Lol that's just my point people don't do mods just because something isn't broken or isn't practical it's a preference thing I just wanted to know people's preference
