Hood Pins

[cruze105]

i need to buy a set of hood pins, cuz im scared that my hood is gonna pop up any time now, since so many pple had problems.
Well i went the shop today to see what kind of hood pins they have
and they had these but in silver:


But the problem with these were that they look so big:



i looked on ebay, i saw these that looked small and not too noticeable:


any suggestions??

Hey Chris,

Get the Sparco ones, they're good but kinda costly a lil.

Would you rather pay $25 for Sparco pins, or $160+ for a new windshield. If you dont recall, I had my hood pop on me

I just installed Sparco Hood Pins a few months ago. I don't like the look but I put safety first. I have some pics on my cardomain.com site.

whats so different between the sparco hood pins and the niken hood pins, they look exactly the same, is it just brand name?
the shop were selling niken hood pins, they were gonna sell it to me for 35 bucks plus 100 bucks labor to install.

personally, i hate hood pins, it ruins the hood. I had my cf hood on for a while...taking it to 135. I figure, as long as your hood don't shake and its secured, then its okay. If your hood shakes though, i'd definatly invest in hood pins. I guess that just my own opinion. You lose either way, break a windshield..its 160 or you end up ruining a 300 + dollar hood.

Dont give advice like that dude, cuz someone might take it and screw up their car. Mine didn't shake, it just popped.

i say go with a trustworthy brand like sparco. i heard that the cheaper stuff tend to bend or break easier.

I've got the Sparco pins. Didn't want to deal with keys for hood locks. I'd probably lose the keys.
