Just curious to know despite what happened to Kevin Me(twice) and Pedro who here still doesn't have hood pins. And how fast do you drive? I know the wimes My hood flew up I didn't have the hood closed all the way but I dont like hoodpins and my next hood I dont want to put them on it so anyone still not have them?

when i 1st got the vis cf hood i didnt have hood pins for about 2 months.

whenever i drove above 60mph i could hear the hood rattling on the latch. the fastest i've ever gone was 85 w/o pins. but i only did it for a couple of seconds. for those 2 months the fastest i've ever gone was 65mph on the freeway except the one time i went up to 85. god that was such hell, i was one of the slow drivers lol.

you guys know i'm the local hood pin expert, and i say for your application, you need 14 pins.

ok really, put your pins as far to the outside of the hood as possible. don't make the huge mistake that i did and put them towards the middle. the corners of my hood would get a little floaty on the highway at 70mph+. fixing that mistake had the lamest end result (4 pins :cry: )

so having my hood pins done like 8ggalant on his oem hood would be bad?
