Post by: 84chvy on October 03, 2011, 08:40:13 pm
ok hood pins look cool and all i think, but isnt that kind of inviting someone to open your hood and steal your stuff? jw

X's 2

It kinda says "I don't know how to fix my hood latch" or "I'm trying really hard to make my car/truck look faster than it is".

Just put tiny little pad locks through them in place of the pins. That would be like EXTRA cool, and tell people "Don't open my hood and steal my stuff" all at the same time.

Sometimes, at about 80MPH, i wish i had some hoodpins.  the front outer corners of the hood moving around make me nervous sometimes.  Think: Tommyboy.

Hood pins aren't cool, but Aero Catch Latches are...

hmm either way with my truck if they wanted something under the hood of my truck they would no matter what be able to get it due to it had the latch release in the grill and i dont have keys to lock the doors on the truck

You could add hood pins for the look, but keep the internal latch so no one can pop it open

Yep, they're hot.  Expensive too.  Seen em in person though and they might be worth $75.
