hood pins or no hood pins

[asp integra]

just got my new eurogear cf boser hood the other day and i was told it might not be a bad idea to run hood pins, what do people on here think? hood pins and latch as opposed to just the latch, thanks

Definitely use hood pins.

any cf hood should get pins installed, the last thing you want is your hood flying up and damaging your windshield and roof while driving on deerfoot.

Yes....what they said, cuz this has happened before to someone on Beyond

or get a good quality hood where the latch isnt gonna rip out.
:dunno: I have no problems with mine, no hood pins.

ever seen that hood? i wouldn't have driven that car with that particular hood down the block much less driving on deerfoot.

+1 for hood pins, CF are soo light, they will fly away like a kite with enough wind under it. Just play it safe man.

i dont like the look of hood pins but they are safer than just having the latch. u can buy some pretty cool hood pins that look really stealth these days. might want go take a look at them!

I have them. Wasn't my fav mod, but deff needed. I use latch AND hood pins. The reason you shouldn't use just latch it because the latch on the hood isn't welded in such as on stock hoods (at least not on VIS), they're epoxied in. And yes, someone did have a hood fly up and smash the windshield. I believe it was a CRX, and IIRC they had to go to the hospital to get all the glass taken out. Wasn't it richardchan2002?

Ya those are a great choice, Im not a fan of them either. I went with the flush aerocatch/top secret hoodpins.
