I don't see why they are needed....although lots of folks say they are a must. This hood fits so tight it doesn't move around like the OEM hood did.....but we'll see I guess :laughing5

my friend didnt put pins on his steeda cowl hood..flew off and hit the top of his car(dented the roof and the hood broke up on the road)

 

Yes, I'vew heard of this happening too. Probably didn't have the latch lowered and properly adjusted. I've also heard of the OEM hoods flying up also.....I may go with pins but right now I hate the red-neck look of them...




Jay

 

personally, i think hood pins look good on nice cars, yours being one of them

 

Well they may grow on me.....did your friends hood latch plate come out of the hood or do you know why it flew up?????


Jay

 

he told me that he was driving down the road , maybe going at 60mph, and he said it just popped up and flew off..he said that freaked him out and will always install hood pins...i dont remember hearing anything about a latch plate

 

Probably need to be getting some pins soon....man I hate to drill my new hood :hmh:


Jay

 

Itll look good, dont worry

 

Looks real nice in person

 

If I were to get a hood, it would deffinetly be a q400.

 

LOL, I woulda gone 156mph instead of 155 mph if it werent for that damn fake scoop...hahahaha. I lke our hoods personally, and the fake scoops, but I also like the steeda and 00 Cobra R hoods. I just cant see putting 750 bucks into a hood, when thats something like full suspension.

 

just use dzuz fasteners instead of pins. i used to run a cowl lift off hood, held down by only 6 dzuz fasteners, but it still wasnt stable enough for normal highway driving.

 

yeah im not saying that it changes perforamce that much. It just bothers me that its non functional...

 

Hey guys check out my new cowl hood :thefinger :tongue5:

 

This is the actual pic,he got smoked at the line, he didnt make it out of the hole,stang broke.

 

i like the hood but you really need to lower that car...

 

lol the hood is chopped...and for the 3rd time its on an incline so all of the weight is transferred to the rear. And springs are in my garage.

 

I woulda had her if my stang didnt break :laughing1

 

why didnt you just chop it to make your car lower too?

 

 

Im glad you put on the hood pins on dont want it to fly open on my Monitor.

 

LOL, nice chop...and getting beat by gma, not such a good thing...

 

yeah she gets me everytime!

 

Best hood is the Heat Extractor...BADASS!!

 

I like stock v6 hoods they look very clean, only thing I would replace it with is a cobra hood.

 

looks great..haha

 

steeda hoods are made by a company called boss which also makes the cyberstallion and will be making the cobra r hood soon they are the absolute nicest hoods with a black gel coat reinforced hinges i mean there so reinforced with metal you would never have to worry bout them flyin off without hood pins. www.bossincstyle.com so if you get a cobra r get it there. :toothy10:
