I had an accident a while back and my hood starts to jump a little after about 70mph...

and hood pins would be rice, I agree, if they weren't so RALLY!

sparco makes a good set of hood pins that i'll pick up over the weekend...

hood pins are nice. they give the car a more agresive look(WRC look). i have a pair on my car.
Sparco are the best in rally stuff includeing pins. mine are sparco.

tom, could you pop the hood for a pic of where you mounted those???

Hey are those fog lights the factory ones? Did you cut out the filler-bar-things in the spots?

zeroindigo · 03-09-2006, 02:50 PM

those are factory GT fogs... it's a bit of a project to put in fogs in the stock location... I just did it and they look ok...

yeah cause then you could hardly see them.

in all honesty.. hood pins could annoy a thief. yeah they could just unscrew them and pop them right off...but its going take extra time to do it. Slows them down on there way to cut the alarm from the battery.
