Is it possible to put hood pins on a metal hood or do i have to buy a fibergalss hood?

 

It is no problem...... IMO it is preferable...

 

depends which ones you want?

if its the post that pokes up thru and then the pin on the cable...no problem. You just have to be prepared to drill holes in the hood.

if its the push down and turn type, thats a little more difficult to make it look right as genuine hoods had braced holes.

 

I used the time tested method, installed the pins on the radiator support, keeping in mind where I wanted them on my hood, and then 'bounced' the hood off the top of the pin to get a point to drill. Worked fine. You can't do that on a fiberglass hood.

no, you just put some grease on top of the posts and mark the glass hood that way.
alternately, you just slam it down real hard and they'll make their own holes

 

Actually I am getting my door fixed next week and i thought about letting that guy do it.

 

Like everybody else said, it's possible. I have them on my metal hood and they look great.

 

Ok thanks.

 

Why?

The whole reason for pins is because fiberglass isn't strong enough to stay lock downed with only the center latch at high speed. The edges will start to curle up on and eventually it will let to.

Even with fiberglass over metal frame (like my hood) I ended up needing pins because of the fiberglass roll on the edges. With a metal hood you have none of these problems.

 

Yeah, but they just looking freakin' awsome!
