fiberglass hood frustration

[rice_eater]

i bought this used and when we instaled it he closed it and it fit perfect. but i can't get it to lock and i dont want to break it by pressing harder. The hood has hoodpins already installed but the guy doesnt have the keys nor the other parts that they lock into. If i buy a new set of hootpins just like that will that key work to unlock them? i might as well use them if i have them. I really dont want to have to remove the existing pins as i cant afford to repaint it right now...Supposetly this hood is functional If nothing the crooked stickers will deflate and act as limited nawzzzzzzzzzzz boosts

I say leave it black, it will look even more Ricey red. leave it black so all the kiddies think it's carbon fiber.

What colour do you want it. I'll do it for you for a really good price. PM me. It's the least I do to help you out. As long as it's a factory colour. I'll just put it in the booth next time that colour is sprayed.

I'll also see about getting your hood aligned properly.

I can get you those exact hood pins, PM me if you need a set
