Okay guys, carbon fiber hood is on the way......... HOOD PINS???

[Evan.]

lol, how can you not know what you're doing with four bolts?

Seriously though, I mean you might as well stop now with modifying your car if you can't get this done. I'm not trying to rag on you, but I mean you'll save ALOT of money in the end.

I also vote no to hood pins.

As far as the install, I've done a hood by myself.

X2 I have had my metal hood off plenty of times with no help.

it's a little tricky with one person but can be done.

some shop just made $100 bolting on 4 bolts. a sucker is born every minute.

You dont have ANY friends?....well quit bieng a dickhead

I put hoods on my ride all the time by my lonely...i have tons of friends to help but why when its a one man job and takes a whole 5 minutes. hold the hood up with your shoulder and hand tighten one screw on one side, then set it down and start one on the other side, holding it up with your shoulder....then see if it latches and make adjustments if necessary then tighten them bitches down and install the last two....DONE

[JerseyStrong]

NO to hood pins, I remember the day I bought my hood and some sparco hood pins. The day I put on the hood I immediately was going to return the hood pins...it looked too clean to ruin it.

 

[vid_man]

NO hood pins... they are soo played out they look tacky now

 

[jdm18c]

go with hood pins i didnt get hood pins and rocked 120+ on the highway and it broke free and flew off dont risk it. CF hoods are expensive hood pins are and insurance policy for you hood

 

[R3dline]

everyone has there opinons on hood pins but i think if you have cf, then use em, i dont care how good the latch is spose to be , like jdm said its insurance, id rather be "tacky" or whatever, than chance replacing a windsheild and repairs on my roof, if u dont like them silver or whatever color,just paint them black then they wont stand out, thats what im about to do just havent got around to it yet
