^ thats all your asking of the hood pins is to save your hood from flying off and possibly causing an accident.

Rep Power: 0 Let us establish some things:
First: Hood pins are made for easy access to the engine bay, and not so your CF hood doesn't fly off.
Second: Any CF hood that flies off is made badly.
Third: Unless your Civic is in the WRC, your car is the embodiment of rice if it has hood pins.
Please do the rest of the civics a favor and don't put useless pins on your car. You're not Mr. WRC who has to go into the hood every day to see why your bristling ULEV 110 HP engine's malfunctioning. Just gives civics a bad name when people put these kind of mods on their car.

Rep Power: 511 yes, that probally was a porely manufactured product because just the top half came off, but with hood pins it would have stayed on and maybe just split and not came off. but you need hood pins for hoods that have poor latches that can come loose and cause you whole hood to fly off or like stated before, in a front collision.
