When we installed it on his car the hood never fit right. We did mine afterwards and it was perfect. Something was wrong with his hood latch from the start. He took it to a shop to fix it, and a year went by with no problems. Regardless he should of gotten hood pins.

I just got the ChargeSpeed fiberglass hood (slightly lighter than CF) and my installer's recommending Sparco hood pins. I really don't like the look but safety first I guess. Anyone got any pics of G's with hood pins?

Thanks,
B
