Hey guys.....just wondering

I read around about carbon fiber hoods needing hood pins. Im getting a stillen supercharger dropped in and im changing my hood to the stillen carbon fiber hood.....would i need hood pins to keep it down and secured? I dont really like hood pins but I read about hoods smashing into windshields. Better safe than sorry.

the guy who lives above me has a stillen stage 2 with the stillen hood. no hood pins there. hes been fine so far.

 

No hood pins for me, but at extreme speed ~110~ I do notice some flex in the front corners by the lights.

 

I would recommend them if your going to be driving fast (and if you have a SC chances are you'll be driving fast ). I've seen 2 people lose their hoods while driving (not G's), and let me tell you it sucks!

 

Yeah i got my hood in now..... Looks like I dont really need them. The stock latch seems pretty secure.

I think its only about 5 pounds lighter than stock. Hehe looks great though. =)
