To all CF hood owners.
Where are you mounting your hood pins? To the radiatot support? Suggestions? Thanks

 

If you get a top brand hood you can get away without pins.

 

It still always a good idea to use hood pins, just incase.

 

I have a Vis so I consider it "top brand:. A friend with a S2000 also had one on his car for 2 yrs. I just flew up, took out his hinges and winshield and he was only doing 60. I'd rather not chance it.

 

does anyone know where should the hood pins exact support under the engine bay?can any please take a pic a show it us~it would be very thankfuland helpful for noobs like us!

 

I am getting these hood pins from top secret when i get my ts hood. here is a pic of the white ones...

 

o ya oops. this is how they latch up on the inside. this is a 350z but i dont know how they would latch this up in the g, cuz we have that fiberglass radiator holding thing.

 

sorry, me no likey. they are way too huge for me

 

hmm, i might get some hood pins myself

 

I mounted mind to the radiator support. I will get pics and post them...

 

 

so uhh.. sorry to hijack but i never knew why would people pin their hoods. i mean, arent they easily removed? what if you get jacked or something..

 

hood pins are to secure your cf hood. cf hoods are lighter and the hook is only held on by resin. after time, the resin gets old and weak and could potentially break off. i dont think people want their hoods flying up while driving...it has already happened to a few people on the site.

 

oOhh i see. i was honestly thinkin of that too but the reason i ask was because i've seen A LOT of hatchback civics have hood pins and it's not even CF. they painted it black and still put on hood pins.
