RE: hood pins
If you have a fiberglass hood it is not just a good idea it a must. stock hoods shake at 80mph. fiberglass is much weaker. the center holddown will not cut it. if you don't want your hood to come flying off or crack I would get them.

Yeah, i can see the hood shake a bit at 90+. With the supercharger on the way, i imagine i'll be in that range quite often.... Anyone have suggestions on a good brand to buy? How hard are they to install myself, don't want to **** up this hood....

RE: hood pins
Do you REALLY have to get hood pins with a fiberglass hood? I am really not into the hood pin look, functional or not, especially on the Cervinis concept hood I think it would just muddy the look of it up. Requiring hood pins will really be the difference between getting a hood or not.
I rarely, if ever, take the car up over 90 mph. And I have heard that adjusting the hood stops can eliminate the shakes. Anyone here been using a fiberglass hood without hood pins and been trouble free? Cervinis claims you don't need hood pins either.
