I'd put hood pins on it. That thing will float like a motha on the freeway.

 
Rep Power: 312

will do, they hard to put on?

Sparco hood pins are the best.

i had them and it only took 3 screws for each pin to install.

Scary, but damn well worth it.

is the diy the best way to do it? and how much noramlly are they?

 
Rep Power: 4646

I got my pins for $50 i think a while back.

The DIY is to be careful when drilling.

Go from the smallest bit to the largest until you get the right screw size.

I'll prolly get some down the road, i read a couple forums sayying that if it has a clip u dont need pins, i just need to adjust the rubber bumpers, so i'm gonna try that and if it still floats, then i'll get pins

 
Rep Power: 4646

I did all that.

Still shook like crazy, but its up to you.

My hood does not move any reason why you guys have that problem cause mine is carbon and it does not move. Maybe i just got lucky

 
Rep Power: 379

lol. it's not on issue of material, it's an issue of weight. If you get a good enough updraft, it could pull that latch right out of the carbon. How certain am I of the likelyhood of the happening? Not sure. Why? Cuz I never took the risk. Pins are simple and trustworthy.

My sparco pins if you are wondering.

My hood fits perfect and doesn't move really at all on the freeway. I think hood pins make it look tacky.

k i got the hood on, looks cool, but shows how much front end damage i have to fix but for some reason the sprayer nozzles dont fit, the holes are to small, any ideas on how to get them to fit?

 
Rep Power: 379

Dremel.

 
Rep Power: 379

Just you wait slowpoke.

 
Rep Power: 312

i love the way it looks, but it just shows how much work i have to do to my car to fix it from the accident, so i'm anxious to get it fixxed so i actually have a normal nice car again
