i dont really like the look of hood pins, but i understand the necessity of it on a CF hood and i do not want ones that anyone can just open the hood. so, what do you think of these?

i have used those before..basically after its installed you unlock the hood first then pull the hood release and then release the hatch under the hood.. to close the hood you just close it like you regularly and push the hood down.. then lock it.. i think the only bad thing about those is if your hood is locked and you must get under the hood cause something happened then the hood locks will only slow you down... especially if you have a fire and need to put it out and cant get under there fast enough to put it out

dont worry about it man. it's not a big deal. you dont have to pull the hood release. just get out of your car, unlocking the locks will take you 20 seconds max, then pull the lever under the hood like normal. it might be a little bit annoying to install them initially because you need to match the locks up perfectly, but after that it's not a problem.

I never liked the circular ones. Even if its carbon fiber, I think the different weave pattern will make it obivous that it is there.

I think they would look a hell of a lot cleaner than normal hood pins. With a little bit of added security (keeping would be thieves away from your battery to disable your alarm) I would sport em if I had a fiber hood.

is that any different than pull the lever on the hood release (i've seen a few hoods that have it), get out, undo the driverside, then undo the pass side and then lift up in the middle??? or minus the hood release.
