I have the fake hood pins from CDC and they are awesome and most likely permanent. I don't see myself taking them off anytime soon, I think it makes the car look badass...

get them from CDC.
Fake hood pins is like a girl stuffing socks in her bra. They might look good on the surface, but when you find out they ain't real, it's really kinda pathetic ... :-)

I kinda agree with Sean, even though I am thinking of which type to get. I am getting the new RK California Dream Ram Air Hood, and I dont know if I want to drill on that, but they both look good either way.

Check out MustangTuning.com
Go to the Mustang Styling Link- Then Exterior Dress up- Then you should see the link for the hood pins

Everyone seems to love mine and think they are real - when they find out they are fake, they say "that's great, you didn't have to f*ck up your hood just for loooks and wow, they look real!" (or some variation of that)

Bottom line, do what you want, this is why they offer both for both types of people -- thoes that think its pathetic (real ones) and thoes that don't care and are looking just for appearances (fake).

Nuff said. Case closed.

I guess you missed the smiley at the end of my post. I was making a joke. :-)

To each their own, but I personally wouldn't put them on any street car ... nor would I put on the drill-through types. Same goes for non functional scoops. Can't see the point of adding drag to a car if it's not going to perform a valid function.

As to better methods for holding down the hood ... a blonde always works ... :-)
